a muumuu

hangs on the back of her door
all red and black
with that fierce dazzling mandala
right in the center
a gift from our neighbor, jessica
who insists EVERYONE needs

a muumuu

it’ll never fit her
25, and the same size she was
at 13

while making a deposit at the bank
i get a text that reads

“Mumu Down fell in Bella’s water it’s Really Hawaiian now”
