Zebra

Her dress flows like a lazy river
when the thaw is done with the complaints
and the woods shrug their heavy shoulders.
She got it at that antique mall by the sea,
I remember. We were talking
of ice cream and whale bones.
It looked like a skeleton on the rack
but it space queened her.

Five dollars
or something.
Nobody cares. I was
looking for video games
from the 80s.
Black caps going
"CK - Christ is King."
"A family that prays together
stays together."
She wore dirty trainers
and she could have worn
anything.

She is still standing on that lawn,
looking like a takeoff.
I am still in that chair
thinking I could fly.
