Mikaela Castledine #123 Between the Shower and the Shoes

I put myself on in the mornings

with such care

in the space between the bathroom

and the bedroom

where all myselves

hang swinging in the possibility

or pool in identity disorder

on the floor

this is the armoury

when sheathing is required

the costumery for camouflage

comfort is folded on the shelf

domination leaves its sharp heeled

press into the carpet

there is an anticipation

of every implication

and I am every day

an ensemble of the choices I make

between the shower and the shoes
