The Wedding Dress
He had moved his mother's wedding dress
time after time, from apartment to
apartment, city to city
Friend to friend, lover to lover
Until we found him hanging
A white apparition in a candlelit room
Acrid myrrh failing to mask the death-stench of shit
"A fruit on a loop," the cop called him
[Note: Inspired by an anecdote CA Conrad told on the Poetry Foundation's "Off the Shelf" podcast.]
