Poem: Close Around

A tailor's metaphor of shape and fit, seamlessness and warmth.
Close Around There’s a tailoring to you, a seamlessness of form Long through the back, a shape that fits my mind The cloth of you, casually draped, falls across my shoulders Warming me An understanding, crafted in the cut Comfort, in sincerity of weave Knowing, years and miles from now, when the chill of age shivers me, I’ll pull the fabric close around	This poem is included in Jim Freeman's poetry collection CORNER OF MY MIND available here in print or as an e-Book in your favorite formats.
