Niiki G's "Deal or No Deal"

inspired this one - and a nod to Christian LaBoutain's amazing website:

I find myself
Still willing to be
a fool:

Powdered, perfumed,

In my red-soled shoes.

I might give it whirl,
if the light was kind,
if the stars aligned.

I could order that dress
off the internet,
and get a pedicure in
Wild Woman Red lacquer

to match my red-soled shoes.

If the light was kind,
If the stars aligned.

I'd let my hair down
and dance by the light of the moon
in those red-soled shoes.

Someone could hold me tight -
This time I'd do it right,

If the light was kind.
If the stars aligned.
