Fichu

From within the grateful air
a gallant rush
pushed past the heat with a quiver
and made the fichu frantic
with sudden exposure of pale skin

It waved one way like coquette
then neatly untied itself

His face was sudden lit
with the peach blossom of dusk
as he realized
the full wealth of my heart
------
Fichu-- a woman's light triangular scarf that is draped over the shoulders and fastened in front or worn to fill in a low neckline

He realized, and then.....there was no need to count a treasure beyond his dreams....but perhaps he counted anyway?
