Buttons*

multi-cluttered on soft chiffon
fine embroidered sleeves
drapes you as in skin, reptilian
pearlescent-inspired
ivory, pewter, slate and mother
as pulled from a tidal pool
just beyond reach of the seas tug

both soft and hard
like the gleam of the sun
from the surface of a shell, worn
capiz-inspired
lily white, black-edged rosettes
their subtle sheen reminiscent
of the swirl and the jetty foam


* inspired by the top worn by Teri Hatcher in the Baume & Mercier ad – MORE magazine, June 2008, (pg 8 from back cover).
