i'd been saving
this cream colored
dress for you
with the silk lining
and lace flowers at the
hem,
instead i am brushing
pollen off my shoulders
knee deep in dandelions
pulling canada thistle
and sheperds purse
a black and white
filmstrip on the refrigerator
moving in stop motion
empty moscato
a blue flannel
and a half drunk
waterbottle still
on the right side
of my bed.
