WordRobe Widow Wyile

The Widow Wyile opens
her word robe
wonders
what will she wear today?
pants like pyjamas
sleeves long or short
of cotton, bamboo, wool or pvc fleece
necks that have association
with turtles or geese

           r

in   f     
              a
                 t
                    i
                       o
                          n
clothes to make her brood
or put her in a frivolous mood?
to fly swim waddle or sun?
The day has just begun
and associations are already
stretched and priming
for a run leaving her
transfixed by signifiers
on hooks and hangers
until she hears the nagging
meh-eh-eh
of her goat
pops on her petunia robe
and heads downstairs
leaving matters of mood, dress
and diction
for later
