A dress with a conversation inside. Take for instance a bright sunny day and a perfect dress is chosen for that day. I think I’d choose a soft blue one with white ruffles midway, empire waist style. Little flowers in the fabric and nothing else because it would look pretty enough to catch the light as I step out the door. On a bright sunny day a dress probably feels downright cheery, when it goes outside. The last time this dress was worn it had picked up all the scents of the day. If you held it real close you would for sure notice. I remembered it smelled of many flowers and the fruit stand I walked by early on. The peachy smell was there along with an earthy scent because I was eating one of the peaches when you walked by. Do people make a scent that attaches to their clothes, I know they do if you get real close to them, but I was just out there with a drippy peach and wiping it off the flowers on my dress and I looked up that way and caught your eyes. I really don’t know how you got in my dress, but you did. https://www.susykamber.com/ Ekphrastic Poetry Explores Art
