A Violet Shawl – v4

She sat beside me in the car
a dark skirt, offsetting,
a white, hand stitched blouse,
with bright Andean characters, dolls
alive within their threads

Sunlight poured through the windshield
making her violet shawl
drink the light into the wool
radiating color, luminous.
a singular band of the spectrum

A slice of clear, bright violet alive
the outer band of the arc, the bow;
living color, dancing, brilliant,
wrapped around her shoulders
against the cold.
