Bridal Illusion<\/p>\n
Bridal illusion is a soft mesh net fabric often used for veils or <\/p>\n
layered over opaque cloth to create a translucent, ethereal effect. <\/p>\n
Illusions are peaceful places. She preferred living there. All rough <\/p>\n
edges are softened. Even the barbs from the few spearheads that <\/p>\n
do penetrate, dissolve and the spear can be easily removed <\/p>\n
leaving only a tiny speck indicating where the puncture had been. <\/p>\n
No pain whatsoever. In illusion, all flatware is sterling, all <\/p>\n
Christmases gilded, all china Limoges. The plans to smother her <\/p>\n
one Autumn day in the deserted Forest Preserve in northern <\/p>\n
Illinois, on the uphill footpath, by holding his palm over her mouth <\/p>\n
and nose, and then to slide their infant under the surface of the <\/p>\n
nearby river until he drifted away, thwarted only by the sounds of <\/p>\n
distance, muted conversations, were misunderstandings. Later, <\/p>\n
she thought the sideboard too angular, so she wrapped it in <\/p>\n
illusion. It looked better that way.<\/p>\n
