Ode to a Well-Worn Pair of Jeans

A poem

faded denim memories woven in like indigo threads frayed at the knees from years of bending and stretching

soft cotton caresses like a lover’s embrace moulding to every curve pockets stuffed with artefacts of times gone by ticket stubs, loose change, faded photographs

you were there for first dates, heartbreaks and Sunday mornings apricated denim now hangs looser after so many washes but you’ll never let me go my faithful well-worn jeans
