White Sale


in cotton thoughts
I wander about
the thread count
and guess what
you are made of
just how tightly will
my dreams be held
do you give
a hundred percent
or are you
a cozy blend of
percale with polyester
will you split and fray
being irritant of pill
or shrink behind
the heat of time
a misfit in size
to bunch and pull
later will you fit
all the corners
smooth or slip up
without any give
sateen or egyptian
is there softness found
within the textile tactile
of the higher
you can count
for I am wrinkling
and no longer want
to be passively
unmade

In a finite world, the infinite rarely is encountered.  Maybe wrap yourself completely in whatever sheet you have.  *smile*

Now that's a fresh start to my morning.  All said, this write brought with its tide cheer to my mood and made my thoughts...  bounce.

A good to you.

Nice, your language just keeps moving here...and the way you weave together your feelings w/ inventive imagery, spinning from your loom.. just beautifully. ~P
