the green dress

it's green on green
with light airy fabric,
cotton or polyester,
or a blend of
modern ingenuity
you aren't sure,
but it looks
swell on her.
the way her
legs exit the soft
petal like folds
at the bottom,
the way her shoulders
slip out at
the thin top. you
smile at her ballet
swing of arms
as she twirls
in the mirror
of the changing
room hall. i want it,
she says, and so
do you.
