A Napkin to Keep
folded white
within reach
catch the drip from
my lips
like a kiss
wipe my fingertips
made of paper
disposable
of no great value
great for picnics
mother's best
touch of lace
washed and starched
folded just so
used on special
occasions
appear on the table
each christmas
in the bar
served under the
glass
a note between us
a love letter
from trash
to a treasured thing
a
keepsake

Charming. I like it.
But I wonder just how far you'd get
If you tried to use a serviette! :)
This makes me think of my grandma's handkerchiefs, so pretty. I like the note on a napkin at the end that became a treasure.
