Several years ago as I asked for birthday suggestions for one of my grandsons, and his mother (one of my daughters) told me the type of shirt he liked and his size. She also said, “He’s really hard to buy clothes for, Mother. He has to love the feel of it, or he won’t wear it.”
I realized this summer that I have become the very same.

Clothes

there are only
certain clothes
I actually wear

others hang forlorn
on closet rods
or sit like
remnants captive
in dresser drawers

the clothes I wear
feel right
against my skin
give ample room
to move without constraint
are loose so I can breathe

slowly
I transfer
these precious principles
about clothes
to my daily living

what I do has
gotta feel right
in my whole self
have room to move
and stay loose
for deep, deep breaths
