A Fancy Knotted Thing

I designed on a string from my ❤️ to yours

the twists and loops of yesterday

Celtic rings in tactile squares

a monochromatic dream sequence

in patchwork futures of sutured memories

 

large squares of Bay Bridge yesterdays

smaller ones on seagulls' wings

I'm still working on a future

every stitch in time lost and loved

 

it smells like me...

 

a gift to wrap the long and lonely nights in love

where months of me are woven into miles

that tether my ❤️ to yours

 

I'd hoped to be done by your birthday

it lies unfinished

a bin of fragmented dreams...

...maybe I'll finish by Christmas

 

just to feel close to the ghost of you
