I dress in water
head to toe
from stiletto bubble heels
to a tiara of diamond droplets
which melt drop by drop
I leave salty kisses
which blister paint
crack concrete
rust metal
I wrap the pull and push
of the universe
in folds of a velvet
fine enough to make a ray of sunshine giggle
strong enough to hold a whale in childbirth
Lovely! I wonder if you need ‘in water’ as the rest of the stanza makes it clear. Powerful last line, well, powerful final stanza altogether.
