such decadence
i never knew existed before
in a blanket
something i used to throw
across myself
in the middle of the night
without much thought
i've always been
a fleece girl
snuggled in the lush softness
on my skin
but then i discovered
muslin cotton
which is cotton with
a plain-weave construction that
makes it breathable
and gives it the appearance
somewhat of gauze
and also gives it mind-bending
abilities
on one hand it's
very featherlight
and yet
it lays weightedly on
my body
it provides just the perfect
amount of warmth
without inducing even a hint of sweat
here in Florida
leaving me marveling at
how it does
how it is
whoever came up with the idea of
weaving the cotton like this
is a genius
I wonder if they ever thought
that it would be adored so as
lightweight
yet hugging
breathable
yet an ideal warm
simplistic
yet decadent
a plain softness that doesn't plush
but says "here, i got you" in an
extravagantly humble embrace that
is decidedly swoon-worthy
a sensory delight
especially after a shower
bringing comfort to the next level
without bragging
muslin cotton
for the win.
