A #Violet Shawl – v6

She sat beside me in our car, silently,
a dark skirt, a white, hand-stitched blouse
with bright Andean characters, terra cotta dolls;
Sunlight poured through our windshield,
causing her violet shawl drink warmth into the wool
radiating color, a singular band of the spectrum,
clear, bright violet, brilliant, alive in that moment,
the outer band of the arc, the bow of God,
living color, wrapped around her shoulders,
to fight against the growing cold.
