Her dress is made of music
humming through the hem
high notes in the seams.
A rousing hymn
adorns the bodice
with sheer lace.
The heart is stitched with loud amens
the back a curving shape
of hallelujahs.
She’s proud enough to hold
her own applause
tucked in a pleated waist.
The skirt sways freely
when she walks
to show there are no chains.
Her dress is made of music.
