Anatomy of a pochette [50]

Anatomy of a pochette

Was it how you worked the leather,
when suede pieces sewed together,
a brown strap became a tether,
caressing your heart.

The one you guard inside your chest,
the one you seldom share nor test,
the one I love more than the rest,
kept at a distance.
