It's Still Life

And It’s Written

That woman, she has a tyrant’s walk,
with her suits in shades of dry bones
and rained-on tweed, with her hair
of molten silver, and I’m sure there’s
some proverb or precept written
that warns — step aside, and avoid
the reckless ambitions of deposed gods.

written for Miz Quickly’s Thursday prompt: To Much of a Good Thing. The phrase I chose was “That woman, with her suits.”
