Ode to a Well-Worn Pair of Jeans
A poem
A poem
faded denim memories
woven in like indigo threads
frayed at the knees
from years of bending and stretching
soft cotton caresses like a lover’s embrace
moulding to every curve
pockets stuffed
with artefacts of times gone by
ticket stubs, loose change, faded photographs
you were there for first dates, heartbreaks
and Sunday mornings
apricated denim now hangs looser
after so many washes
but you’ll never let me go
my faithful well-worn jeans
