Little Black Dress

Before making light,

God cut

a piece

out of the charcoal night,

held it

in one hand,

and waited.

When light came,

God shook

the dark piece

and beheld:

the little

black dress.

Then, God

looked about

for tan shoulders

on which to

perfectly drape it.

(the rest

is herstory).

I highly recommend Ingrid's new album, Everybody. If you do not have it, get it. Now. You will not be sorry.
