Two Lives, Not One

Carole and I
         made paper dolls
from catalog models.
We'd cut them out
         then trace over the top
designing dresses.

We spent days together
         tracing, drawing,
creating our own fashion world.
         collaborating, giggling, sharing.
Colors and lines,
         flare and panache.

Then Carole got sick
         and a week went by.
When she was well
she brought me a bunch
         of sketches
she had done on her own.

How could she?
         Without me?
How did she?
         Without me.
                   ~~Judi Van Gorder
