Remainders of the china doll's

dress that used to be precious

to her now become

a part of something I called

my own. It waved and played

in rumples

and frills

in a way I love.

I wore the matching dress

with my doll until

I too felt like I was

the doll and my dear friend,

so small, was the one alive.


Now, I have my own

style of

frills

and we no longer match.
