Your sky blue
summer dress

hung now
to dry

against an open window

almost
invisible

disappearing into
the blue

like a Magritte
painting

birds suddenly
vanishing and then
appearing again

like a Bermuda Triangle

the soft chatter
of its hanger

talking to
the window

as it argues
with every passing breeze

you
nakedly
dreaming.

Arguing with every breeze...what a perfect image...and she, lying naked for her dress is blowing in the breeze....wonderful images, perfect summertime picture for a cold winter day...

Simply? Delicious! Such imagery! I feel like warapping your words around me and wearing them out...and wearing them out with repeating them to my self! Your words are the clothes I wish for. love Debbie Debs
