Window Dressing
Today she's in cocktail red, black sequined beret, satin gloves to the elbow, one hand raised to the buses rolling off I-5. Who dresses this mannequin in thrift-store dreams, for a fantasy life three floors above Fairview? Behind her the couch fades a paler plum each season.

Window Dressing

Today she’s in cocktail red, black sequined beret,
satin gloves to the elbow,

one hand raised to the buses rolling off I-5.

Who dresses this mannequin in thrift-store dreams,
for a fantasy life three floors above Fairview?

Behind her the couch fades a paler plum each season.
