Opaque
Why are these clothes
such solid, unrelenting things?

Who dictated they should be
opaque?

Where did they get the right
to fight my outlines?

Why should they have weight?
Don't I have any say?

Weave me a dress of light,
a net made out of blue

switched on like
runways at dawn

to say to you
as you circle the sky

Touch down.
This is the way.
