agave slip

transparent italian cotton organdy
long layering slip with a hand written
poem embroidered around three tiers

the spirits quickly
gathered
in shapes of icy fog
 
such a sudden change 
in weather
coming down through the hills
 
they descended 
through the tall blooms of century plants
 
& agave fronds,
their backs like lizards
 
near forgotten boots left to tarnish
into whiteness & silver
