Tonight I am glowing.

I am wearing my feelings on the outside.

like a  new outfit,

The colour not yet faded,

The cloth uncreased.

 

I dance past the mirror

on light feet.

Admire the cut,

Note how well it fits,

How it brightens my eyes,

Puts a swing in my hips.

 

I look in the wardrobe.

Worn outfits left to hang,

Accessories stuffed in drawers,

Shut with a bang.

 

I remind myself to read the warnings.

Wonder how long this one will survive the laundry.

 

An then I pout my lips,

wriggle my hips

and wink at my own reflection.

Because tonight it fits.

Tonight I am glowing.
