An Old Handkerchief

The cloth aged Likes the wrinkles of the face The colours of the embroideries faded Likes the eyesight of an old woman The threads gone loose Likes the screws Between planks of an olden hut Only the stains of an old lipstick Still fresh in the heart Of a sun-set love

I like the way you 'show' the handkerchief, and let the reader's imagination take off. Light and Joy, Gershon
