Day 221 prompt: Black

Mommy?
Yes …

Why
don’t you wear
any colors bright?

Why
are your clothes
as dark as the night?

Why
don’t you choose
neon pink or green?

Why
is your boldest hue
the shade of your jeans?

Sweetheart?
Yes …

Black
is in season
whatever the weather

Black
means my clothing
all goes together

Black
is time-honored
and easily found

Black
makes me look like
I lost a few pounds
