Portrait in a Wedding Dress Shop’s Fitting Room
the mirrors have never given her

it is an ivory flattery to see herself
in this light, at every angle. it is
one certainty preceding the rest.

“An ivory flattery” is such a great phrase!
captures a moment
Made me cry, the lonesomeness. But “the one certainty preceding the rest” made my heart smile.
