INTIMATE APPAREL, by IRENE WILDE

First Line: She braids her hair in rivulets of sun
Last Line: She wears a haircloth shirt.
Subject(s): Clothing & Dress
She braids her hair in rivulets of sun
And binds her wrists
And brow with buds of pomegranate,
Her throat with amethysts
Of glittering laughter --
The most alert
Would not surmise that next her flesh
She wears a haircloth shirt.
