Let's hope this redraft manages to calm my eyes for a little while:
Love Poem #7
So many garments
rolled tight to fit
in this cupboard.
"When did we stop
dressing up to keep
each other entertained?"
Such a stupid hat, ribbons
and shoddy cloth worn
one day at a fair.
"Prune the drawers:
shirts, jeans, boots -
bag them for charity."
We fleece each other,
let fall rags and jewels:
fingers trace the drapes of skin.
"Let others consider
old skins, browse
for a cap, or a shoe."
