for Stephanie
she landscapes four dresses on the wall
chooses black to colour art
black, the darker side of pale
black, the unlovely colour of roads,
night hazards, flashing lights, dead-end
signs. in a laneway a woman sleeps
while the mood calls her runaway, wife.
curbside ladies hang on lamp-posts, flee
a hooting owl, some drive up lonely highways
find the river closed. some make it to the
station or midnight plane. others leave before
the egg is born, snatched from brutal hands.
some artists wall a movement
others dress the girls.
