Alabaster flesh

wrapped in black cocoon

Shes the lady in the sun hat

She braves the morning light

though shes girded for worse

Soft cotton billow flows her frame

Shes the lady in the sun hat

Shes ready for mid-day

sunglasses on notice

Godspeed, lady in the sun hat

that you escape these piercing rays

that would weather your porcelain

Lady in the sun hat

beneath the tree

Lady in the sun hat

your symmetry

Your colors in concordance

Will you grace us further

in Autumn’s gentler light?
