bought
before the first funeral i attended

zipped
to see the women who meant the most

gone
she would've loved this dress

tears
pouring my art out to judges

walk
feeling enough

stop
feeling too much

another
the next funeral i attend

life
this dress has seen it

death
this dress wreaks of it

little
something i don't think i am any more

black
goes with everything

dress
one i've had to wear too much.
