The Black Bra

Black on Red
It stood
Proud statement
Discarded in frenzy
All passion spent

Improperly passive now

Objet trouvé
Found flotsam
Overstating its status
Bright
Bold
Yet benign

No threat 
No danger
The sad music of lust
Transmuted
Statuesque

Fashioned by whim
Now become
A seafront memento
In memoriam
Of some casual
Teasing escapade
A littoral reminder

Perhaps

Of a purple period
Of passion

Part Bikini

Or

Plain Brassiere
