This Dress

This Dress

A Poem by Caitlin Lea

My favorite
Dress
Is one
Held together

With paperclips,
So my
Overfed bosom
Of words

Doesn't show.
It used 
To fit,
This dress,

But now
Hangs pitifully
From my
Barren

Trunk.
When my arms
Blow in
The wind

They don't
Look graceful
Anymore-
My fingers

Ache 
From waving
Goodbye.
It used

To be
Beautiful,
This dress.
But I've 

Lost
Too much.
It no longer
Fits.

Wow... This is really deep. So much imagery goes into it! Its amazing. It also tells such a sad tale...It makes me want to weep with it... or find a way to help hold its arms up. Very very beautiful, my friend. Keep on writing!
