dcmarti1 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (The lines are 4/6/8/10/8/6/4.) A Sunday never-morningThe flannel shirtthat she will never wear-- the she that will never be broughthome after alcohol, just the promiseof a subtitled Euro film --is laundered and buttonedon the hanger.The flannel shirtthat she will never wear-- the she that will be completelynaked underneath; so short in staturethat her bush is more than covered --will only know the formof his body.The flannel shirtthat she will never wear-- the she who will never spill amorning espresso on it, causing herto chuck it and expose her breasts --will be washed once a weekif worn or not. The flannel shirtthat is on the hanger,that is to be worn just by him,that is to be laundered on strict schedule,is starting to fray on the cuffs,reflecting his Sundaynever-morning.

This one was definitely meant to be shirt = metaphor for "his" current life. Glad you enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I like the way you've gone about this. A look at the most everyday of things can spur thoughts from self examination to the most philosophical . I also liked the mention of subtitled Euro films (which I watch on Saturday evenings).
