Stripes 1

watch her swathes sway…

Though stripes can hem you in
the Widow Wyile favours them
both fat and thin
sideways lying
upways flying
lines are lines
leading somewhere
leaving spaces
in between
they draw your eye
invite your words
long lean
low lying
left listing
unadorned
strip
skinny dip
they take you places
real
imagined
stripes are the way
to go
