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.
