Closet
Orange pumps
With gunmetal buckle
Fierce and unafraid
Of judgment ---
You are sleek
And sexy
And unapologetically
Powerful.
You melt into me
And your citrus glow
Creeps up my nakedness
And exposes shape
I too often hide.
But tonight I'm taking back the night
With orange pumps as my guide.

Empowering is the first thing that came to my mind. I also loved the selected color and style vs. red or black stilettos. There seems to also be a metaphorical reference to women and their body image being in the closet.
Have you read “What Do Women Want?” By Kim Addonizio? This poem reminded me of that.

Just looked up the poem you mentioned. It's incredible-- you always know where to find the most elusive, unexpected, stunning art. Thank you for expanding my mind today
