Worn on the inside, like a comfortable dream Rubbed thin and shiny from pockets to seam Sometimes so thread bare to weary away As the last of the stitches lean to finest of fray Tattered worn patches that cover small holes Wispy in texture from bonnet to soles Clinging on tightly to faint placket baste Finally sheer in the weave, ribbons laced Faded and softened in whimsical blues Un-pressed and wrinkled, a giggled amuse Worked into fabrics that snuggle and sleek Leather to satin, as in love hearts turn meek Worn on the outside, courageous and calm Tough and yet tender, each beat counted on Sometimes to alter the pattern cut out Last to discard, and the first wrapped about Copyright Kkh 5/2/03 |
