The backward glance at

Fuzzy pillows with sequins

And glitter.

Longing palpable.

Her grown-up

Pulling her forward.

Desire

Unnoticed

Or ignored

By necessity.

The lady with the voucher

Says clothing only.

I search frantically –

A jacket with sequins

And glitter

Must be here.

A jacket makes a

Perfect,

Portable,

Pillow

In a pinch.

We take the magic

Of sequins and glitter

Wherever

It appears.
