Denim Man

The greatest misfortune of {us}
is that you only seem to recall 
a few black pages of our relations.
Nonchalantly tossing aside the gilded chapters
that made up the volumes of our past...

Your major miscalculation...you sought to suck satin 
out of a denim man.  
Always a shade less than your expectation.
A texture that rouged your mental skin.

What cloth do you drape yourself in
nowadays?
