no I wouldn't buy a black one especially not with feathers

give me a sedative
to part black wings
enfolding me

if I could move
my fingers
I'd pluck out
each feather
letting in light

then I'd buy
a red hat
blue scarf
step out
& embrace
this winter

raise my head
in the supermarket
speak while buying
two tamarillo
walk through sleet
my hair tied

give me a sedative
so I can buy
a red hat
maybe one
lined with velvet
