It's Still Life

The Quilt

Imagine
Irregular bits of summer colour.
Pieced.
Carefully aligned

from what might’ve been
thrown away.
Blocks of colour, songsters of print.
Sister’s skirt.

Daughter’s dress of grassy green.
Double stitched
picos with white thread. Thimble
Thumbing

A patchwork quilt that she called her soul.
