. the  red dress .
description in words,
draped, silk in lime light.talk endlessly of pin
tucks, and pleatings.
yet she said,             things
are too profound.   a standing
ovation.

moths in light,
all things due sound.

this was a charity gala, all befrocked,
with polished shoes.        have you
heard the welsh sung?         he sung
lovely,     my lovely.

we liked her red dress.
