Summary: For the 'item of clothing' challenge in Flash Poaetry.




My breasts
now too heavy
to be enclosed
in its soft folds

it lies
snuggled in
the depths of my
tights and knickers

drawer. Fabric
bought with care
to fall correctly,
rolled to avoid

creases, stitched
with precision,
ends its days under
mass-produced tat.
