Soft

Plush velvet cottonwheat
Strands of mauve and milk
In snug pleats enveloping
Faded gray wooing
Fond weave of yarn
Shelter petals rust
Safely closely holding
Folding and unfolding
Winter’s hush
Spring’s rush
Braided surrender
Warmth suspended
Wool sheets
Silk dreams
Barely bed of feathers
Layers upon layers
Shawls in fringes wild
Turn around
Linen sleeves
Smooth sweeps
Press with flare
Wash with care
Visible
Untouchable
