Suit
A #poetry thread

i.

An orangerie,
neoclassical
style, façade I see
that’s theatrical.

In front of oak door
that led — I don’t know
where — he walked. Décor,
dark coattails that flowed.

Grey homburg, gold chain
from dark vest pocket
to button — urbane —
brass watch, a locket.

ii.

Grey trousers, black shoes
of patent leather.
Tortoiseshell glasses,
mustache — like feathers.

He stops, turns, poses
by the oaken door
carved Roman; shows us
himself: what he wore.

An orangerie,
neoclassical
style, façade I see —
still theatrical.
