Tweed

Cold is her name
A tweed hides her quiet eyes
Beneath coarse outer skin
Is there warmth she tries to hide?

Threads tell their tale
Woven bright with whispered past
Hard to crack her pale heart
A staple that will still last.

Interesting poem, Jenish. Sounds as if this mystery women may have her heart 'stapled.' ~ Gershon ... P.S. You have soup mail.
