Dateless Saturday Night
Her face an apparition
in the mirror of
her window,
she sits alone, apart from the
cool crowd,
plucking petals.
“He loves me. He loves me not.”
Her hand holds one more piece
too many,
the whole world
plucked nodes
on an empty
stem.
The prompt word for the dVerse Poets quadrille challenge is: petal.
I asked women about their favorite places. These Story Boxes are a reflection of what they told me. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of my favorite before i sold it. It was The Artist’s Studio. These Boxes are all 11.5″ X 8″.
The Beauty Shop
The Souvenir Shop
The Kitchen
Center Stage
The Parlor: A chest of memories substitutes for life: a wedding veil, old love letters, pictures and a solitary bottle of champagne furnish her Saturday night company.
