Our Rich Tapestry


It occurs to me

In bed

with love and books and paper and pen

One Sunday morning,  reading random

common experiences about

the joys of motherhood that



One memory tags another to

            weave life’s rich tapestry.



When you share a memory

with me, our fabrics become

Stitched together in



Our common patchwork quilt,

keeping us warm in our downy creation.

May ours be beautiful stitch work.



Quilts turn to dust in tucked away cobweb trunks.

The handworks of our ancestors are

tattered and unsavable, time unweaving their existence.

Now, Our binary cacophony sings louder to faraway places

with a million ears.

Who knows how long our words will last?

And how many cloths our cloths overlap?



You, hearing my words,

You matter to me.

You matter. 

May ours be beautiful stitch work.
