The Date
Joanna M. Weston
there’ll be a knock at the door
and I’ll say wait…
I want to change
look my best
for you
I’ll take a shower
wash my hair
manicure pedicure
dress for gala dinner
earrings pendant
rings and bracelet
cloak around my shoulders
then I’ll undo the lock
fling open the door
and head into
the last adventure
on death’s lean arm
there’ll be a knock at the door
and I’ll say wait…
I want to change
look my best
for you
I’ll take a shower
wash my hair
manicure pedicure
dress for gala dinner
earrings pendant
rings and bracelet
cloak around my shoulders
then I’ll undo the lock
fling open the door
and head into
the last adventure
on death’s lean arm
