The White Glove

Cannot you see it? That perfect, stark white glove
for opera,
she is pulling it on just now, slowly,
with intent, onto her left hand.

Her right hand’s fingers caress lightly her left wrist,
slightly tugging, gently easing the
glove up her silken arm,

then smoothing the gossamer-like cotton of the glove,
with her right hand, oblivious, ‘tho it is gloveless.

And the art of her is just like a portrait unfinished

You do wonderful thinks with nuance and word pictures.  I just see her preparing for "Phantom of the Opera", recalling her own lost love.  Perhaps she wears only one glove in memory of him?  KJ

The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Karilea, I also could see the Lady with the white glove, all dressed up in her evening gown...
Oh, it's black, in my mind's eye........
