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
