Sombrero

Sequins reflect the sun, throwing fairy lights around the room

Pristine showy whiteness

Arched brim, like a cat stretching to show off

Glinting silver stitching

Round as the full moon

It almost swallows my head when I put it on, because it’s so large.

When I touch it, it feels fuzzy, like moss.

It hangs over my bed as a reminder of Mexico.

Wearing it expresses my crazy side that isn’t often apparent.

Smudges of dirt are easy to see, but equally easy to rub off.
