GLAD RAGS

Joan Reese

In a dark closet
hanging from steel wires
in the shape of man's desire:
 
Gossamer gold silk, sheer black lace,
plunging neckline with rhinestone jewelry,
held together by memories:
 
Studio 54, cruise ship fling, Paris affair.
I was there!   I was there!
Never thought of seasons changing.
 
Mementos packed tightly for years.
I give them away,  
so another will have her day.
 
Disco music played out, 
people parted in pairs.
Spring is over, I shed no tears.

    A case of spring cleaning here. Intriguing words in this poem. Nicely done
