If shadows could be cloth, poem by Kathleen Woolrich

      you asked me what I want to wear
      in the romantic moments in some far off dream
      I will tell you black
      or I will dress in shadows
      if shadows could be cloth
      I would wear red if my body was the body I possessed before I gave birth
      And time had torn my youth apart
      But now its simply black I want
      or shadows cover me
      or simply sheets
      Inside my skin , I feel as if I leap, I dance
      But the frame of earth holds me here and rips apart young dreams of love
      And now I dance only in my memory and kiss in my memory too
      There are no dreams in red or gold
      Sometimes there are no dreams at all
      Yet I catch a glimpse of who I was
      if shadows could be cloth
