A sleeve, a cuff, a collar or cut neckline:
Edges, limits, ending punctuation:
A stop, a pause, the expectation
That we must cover ourselves, yes,
But that the way the garments end
Or begin draws the eye; we see
The shape of apparel because
It allows us to divide body parts
Into parts: hems, seams, darts.
there's something deliciously magic about the word 'cuff' isn't there?...
