L is for... Luxury

Nine months stripped back

To T-shirts and jeans

(Just one pair.)

-

Time to fill the gaps in between.

But K-mart (think Primark)

Can’t quite solve my style

(Luxury?)

-

Thread this new era with me-ish apparel.

I fantasise freely

Of Sex and the City

(The fashion!)

-

Of delicate fabrics,  bright colours - pretty.

Scented store playground,

Chanel No. 5.

(Marilyn!)

-

A taste of couture for an excellent life.

That blue velvet coat,

Its irrational beauty

(Lynchian.)

-

Defined by its absence – a missing luxury.

What I’m really seeking’s

A taste of me

(Conclusion.)

-

Stitched through with things I have seen.

Presentation’s everything;  

But inform my choices

(Ethical.)

-

A quiet call against unrepentant voices.

Two minutes on the spindle,

Cheap fix for a date.

(Gap-filler.)

Nothing but moments, a lifetime too late.
