What the Girl Wore

Kathleen Driskell

At the store, on the hanger¹, the blue dress must have fallen

like water to a froth of frilled hem², its bodice as smocked

as a christening gown. A season out of date, her mother chose it

from our local department store chiefly for the high collar,

but I knew it was a dress Lisa wouldn’t have been caught

dead in. Just hidden under the neckband of lace, the circle

of her purple necklace, each dark bead³ a fingertip of efficient

bruise that we already knew about anyway, and simply went on

imagining, as we, her classmates, filed past the white coffin⁴.
