alluring and abiding

oh kay



the white cotton chain

grows thick and fine

blooming timid flowers

and molding round lips

in the shapes of droplets

with every crumple and quirk

 

this opulent pattern

can prompt only delight

as it collects grime from the terrain we plod on

grazes our chests day by day

ties up our coils and curls in demure coiffures

defining us as divine

through its eager touch

      Appreciate the author's note to clarify but without the clarification it seemed metaphoric just the same. A most beautiful description well done
