Force-Fitting

Those fabrics that will stretch
are a must for me today.
Those force fittings have become
for me the only way.

If I were to stand outside
in this rain that's pouring down
my clothes would shrink and skin would show
in sadness I would drown.

So taking this and adding that
I'm seaming up in thought,
sewing fittings just for me
to hold myself in, taut.

Wondering when this rain ends
if ever, time will come
and bring the sunshine back to us
in warmth, to then succumb.

M

How well I know of this. And never is the life saver thrown. I've gone down so many times, my skin no longer fits, to say nothing of the clothes. So expertly expressed.

I love how you put that...sad thing is the skin always fits..if it would just stay  tighter I wouldn't have to worry about the age of expansion


Thanks Anne

Ok..now the idea of clothes in shrink and skin in show is not usually associated with a sadness.... but you did this well....
