Moving
Blunt streaks of sweat thumb-pressed across the buttoned collar—
white with a tinge mark of a proud scent.
Crinkling around the placket in a vice-grip
with hands ripping away.
Strings unwind their whitewater seam to the end where buttons pop out the mouth of flappy tails.
I'll take this shirt with me
from the body of the latest flop—
sewn and resewn for the form of the next attempt.

You have a good eye for detail. And a good hand for transferring it to writing.
