I watch the carving of my face behold the gestures of disgrace from my eyes I've seen temptation succumbed to its master allocation into sheaths of cloths for arms and legs protruded essence of new 'look' extruded into fits of child rage to fit an oft acquired cage. In leisure tweeds as a winter gnome body's graced brushed herring bone fancier than summoned spring drones convened as suitors at queen bee domes... I watch as wrinkles crease the face clothed the arm that held the mace stood fast against student famine enjoyed chess, then backgammon... Recollect first real acquisition dark Godiva suit, in smart tradition made in Italy, direct from the place where local women still spun white lace My suits have grown from solids into stipes desires to dress well has met heeded advice: better to accept the suits that family gives when money is short as one strives to live...

Seems to me the grace of face fits the suits of need... |

My suits have grown from solids into stipes desires to dress well has met heeded advice: better to accept the suits that family gives when the money is short and strives to live... Martin, thank you for this thoughtful write. Your poems always show such wisdom. Thank you for that. Hugs Ethel |

Linda, the wardrobe is growing but more figuratively than literally through...I mean experiences accumulate |
