Corduroy (a Fabrics series poem)

Corduroy

by Sheri

Winter comes when lines down your face
or street are set cracks in the porcelain
or these velvet lines that weigh heavy
with a warm cover unexposed to chatter
deep in thought the studious one wears
the browns and grays of any worldly day
mine with suspenders and a beret were
long through the night and never tore on
any star from the sky Oh what joy it is
to feel the soft ridges ready for anything
