Clothes

 Every morning I roll my weary bones out

And I groan

I don't drink coffee

I'm never alone.

My children are waiting to state their needs

And I must choose to get dressed

Clothing ~ it was not supposed to be

This array of color, texture, and pressure

It was just supposed to be us

Our hair, our skin, no flaws coverings, no distractions

And as my painful skin is haltered up or in

As I face a new day

The tree just outside my window

With its' fresh dress of leaves (It is Spring)

And the Tulip in its bright vestments

Remind me of my eyes

My hair

What is actually mine

And I get dressed

And I think how funny that I think about these things

That it matters to me

And I wonder

Anybody else?
