longing sleeps
in soft percale –
with tiny yellow flowers
a shade of thin
are threads already known
as paths
beyond this lowly state –
counted more by grace
life come round
to living us again
as sewn beneath a ruffle
of gentle disregard
for times
we let –
and times we couldn’t go
held before the daylight
wrapped in yesterdays
– quilted patch
of love me more
goodbyes
screen door
opened wide enough
to let all reason fly
the universe we
gathered –
in sheets
of soft percale
. . .
Wistful and bittersweet, and….., I don’t know, but I liked it all the same. ~always~
