your best clothes

your best
clothes are the ones
well worn.
you treat
them kindly.
folding them
right out of
the dryer, or
onto a hanger
they go.
comfort clothes.
clothes
you feel good in.
feel like
you in.
it's heartbreaking
to see a tear,
a rip,
a button gone
or a zipper
that will no longer
zip.
like a good
friend, these clothes
you want
to keep forever.
they are
hard to replace,
hard to imagine
your life without
them.
