Dior Dreams~with the talented Adagio
In shrink-wrapped memories
and a Christian Dior photograph
of my imagination, and dreams
I collect our days in the sun
and place them in a jar
fireflies of hope don't let that spark die
like incense, popsicles, and gum
now my memories are in a toybox
forever altered by age and seasons
my body betrays my heart
the last of my gloss has dulled
and the luster of youth has been devoured
without a reset button to restore
the essence of Dior's lipstick
now an addict to nostalgia
given my proclivities
to flip the pages
in shrink-wrapped memories
I commit the unforgiveable sin
and get old

Love all of the glamour and nod to aging in this.
Also enjoyed the use of shrink wrap as a metaphor
for preservation. Really great collaboration you two:)
On a side note - I always loved all of the Dior commercials with Charlize Theron.
It's just amazing that she is the same person who played a serial killer in the movie Monster.

Dear B and A,
Well done. This piece is so cohesive. I really enjoyed the mixing of high the end fashion world where aging is a crime against the imagery of stanza three. The ending was exquisite. We should be able to love ourselves at every stage of the process. Congratulations again to you both. Wonderful poem! H🌷

I found this to be delightful.
"addict to nostalgia
given my proclivities
to flip the pages"
There's something that pulls at us when someone else's definition may not be our own and we struggle to compromise, until we see a different reality.
That closing stanza though, is witty and profound.
Great work you two.
