Sartorial

By Sandrine Letellier

this way yes this way

the avalanche

lifts up her arms for dramatic effect

looking down at this territory of me

all these unholy apertures

to unfurl loads of sullied whites

I am not dressed for this tempest

my body is wet fabric heavy

but I won't fold under the slab

of my own love
