The Closet

Kit Metrey

A sleeveless, blue striped button down

Baby pink pencil skirt

Dove gray oxfords.


A rainbow sequin crop top

Black and white vertically striped sweatpants.


A little black dress,

With ties at the waist,

100% polyester,

And a red flannel in the backseat. 


Two years prior, pulling clothes from the men’s section of American Eagle:

A waffle Henley in navy blue,

Pants that button on the wrong side,

A soft maroon beanie. 


Four years later,

Gown after gown of silk and chiffon,

Waves of ivory and white, and

Insistence on pockets. 


Lime green linen shorts suit

A cream colored collared crop top

And white canvas Adidas.


A dark blue tank top,

Pinkpurpleblue

And the declaration my whole wardrobe is trying to make:

GIRLS LOVE

GIRLS

AND BOYS
