Waltzing in a yellow dress: A sapphic poem
Today
She poured oil on her fire
And together they left
On a cherry red convertible
From the town of nobodies
And busybodies of lore.
/
Two weeks ago
She was making a heart on a cafe latte
And trying to pour some kindness
In this dead town of frowns and disapproval
When she waltzed in through the front door.
Yellow dress, sunflower bracelet and
The prettiest fuchsia pink lips she had ever seen.
‘Why would you come here?’ she wanted to scream.
‘What would you like to have?’ she asked
As the tall woman stood in front of
The display case of shriveled bakes and cakes.
‘A cup of cafe latte with the prettiest thing you make,
Though that might be your smile, if I may say.’
She couldn’t help but break
Into a grin as wide as the sun at that
And that’s how it all began
And turned into the most
Whirlwind romance south of France.
