You are shimmering satin
I’ve tended, mended, and woven
Each stitch whispered
Into patches of petals.
You unfurl
As vast translucent joy
Dappled light emerging
Belting an unbridled melody
A vision born from threads I’ve sewn

Wearing the remnants: shards of your discarded
         garments
Speeding through your neighborhoods and
       scoff as you walk your dog
Seated in your meetings but cannot
        open my mouth
The words that tumble forth will ruin me
