Zipper

it's a little
above the
middle of
her back

if it were
in front
it would be 
between her

breasts
but going
back around
pinching the

clasp
slowly
pulling
it down

exposing
her perfect
smoothness
of brown skin

against the
yellow of her
full length gown
that slides off her

shoulders
to the ground
i massage the
tension from her

neck

Lol Maureen. I had to look up what you were talking about. I never heard this song. I asked mi Musa if she had a nice dress. She sent a photo of her in a yellow gown; and yellow happens to be both our favorite color. Poetry and reality. Lol.
