The dress Oil on Canvas 70x100
 
The Dress
Nobody sees your hands on it
When I walk down the street
Nobody sees your fingers on it
When I come back home
The small button is sewed on anew
And all dreams buttoned high up to the neck
I take this dress off gently
I put this dress on gingerly
For me it has the power of magic
And I'd like so much for everybody
To see your hands on it.
