Dresses

“Twelve nails and a rusty pair of scissors.

With only these meagre tools at her command,

apart from her own pale hands,

the girl had been locked as prisoner in a shed

alongside the stupefied herd of animals.

‘Every night, for six nights, you will tailor a frock

fit for the devil.’, she was told.

And for six nights she stayed in the shed

alongside the wailful herd

to finish one dress after another.

With twelve nails, and a rusty pair of scissors

and her own bloodied hands.”
