Today, I wear my silken shawl,
Bought from a stall of antiqueties.
It is not new, but aged threads
Woven, from a lifetime of another.
As I walk, I feel the eyes
Of passing Gentlemen
Follow my tiny steps
And I coyly finger
My jet choker, with it's
Oval cameo centerpiece.
My eyelids drop
In chaste defence
Should they think me free of type,
Then, with girlish gait,
I raise my head, haughtily,
Pointing my nose in the air,
And shake my imaginary
Cascade of ringlettes.
Returning home, I fold my shawl,
Lay upon the tissue paper
And place it into it's pretty box.
I gaze into the mirror...mmnnn
Tomorrow, I wonder,
And then I smile,
Tomorrow.....I 'may' wear,
My fishnet stockings
And black leather mini skirt.

That's a very charming piece Zydha, and reminiscences arose from the reading of your tale.......... Of course the 'may' does leave us with the hovering question - was there a postscript at all?  Best wishes Rhumour |

hahaha...the last six lines is the footnote, Dave,, but I seriously did think of doing a sequel starting with the skirt and fishnet stockings, but wasn't sure of where to take it precisely, . I think I told you I got a Dongle stick as you advised, Dave, but it only worked whilest the chap was here and when I opened it at night .... my laptop couldn't recognise any connection, so we disconnected and backdated, but it's just a bad signal connection and an extenal wireless radio card, so I'm stuck with it till I return to UK and will buy another laptop, Zy |

I love this ... it made me think of builders' wolf whistling ...and a girl who makes a good job of pretending not to like it Jen |

That's it precisely, Jen, a sort of 'Are we really who we appear to be?' wacky thought, thanks,  Zy |

"Woven, from a lifetime of another." Cracking line! The style of this could've walked straight out an Anne Rice novel, Zy. The clothes of the soul... Merlin |

Yikes, Jen, sorry about my spelling of 'appear',  and thanks, Merlin, I like this piece myself and that was one of the lines I was happy with, some flow out of their own accord, this is one of those, Zy |
