Your Shirt

Cling to Me

A desperate longing for your touch,

I reach for your discarded shirt.

The fabric clings to my skin,

A lingering comfort

In your winsome scent.

A gift until

claimed by the

greedy

air.

Author's Note: This poem was inspired by "In This Shirt" by The Irrepressibles.

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.
