Knolls of clothing dot the rug, a
rainbow of empty plastic hangers
sway with every pass. Hot rollers
get a little hotter, round and rectangle
compacts litter the counter, waiting to
give her a face to face the world.
She picks up things and puts them down,
making decisions and easily changing her
mind. A timid little queen of a tiny kingdom,
running her life within the walls of her
walk-in, avoiding the subjection that waits
outside the closet door.
