Dress Shop

Dress Shop

she used to

buy her dresses

here

back when

she wore dresses

rooms with racks

of pretty pieces

and she’s standing in every room

walking through every door

feeling the fabric

eyeing the stitching

raising the hem

to fit

her petite form

and she’s asking me

what I think

of the blue one

and I tell her

“beautiful … granny

you look beautiful …”
