Silk (a fabrics poem)

Silk

by Sheri


The sky is buttoned around trees
long dress of finest days we hang
over any arm bent lasting to fit
and trying on your smile I've seen
weddings so pure the steam was
coming off of a statue of Christ
dress dipped in dyes unfaded as
distance was a cousin of mine
the home made ready in length

years we put off pounds in a slow dance
