Best Piecing Poems
As Time Unwinds...As Time unwinds with a cup of tea

Serging Through Life's Stitches with Scars...Serging through life, I whipstitch, weft, and welt,
But always, my thoughts are pick-threading.
As stippled patches of emotion rise and fall in me,
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me

The Uncontained...he parlayed a condom full of nouns
in bold thrusts of the quill
for the para structuralist cadres

Or So I'Ve Been Told...You're a mystery to me, a modicum of memory.
I have your straight nose; your big, clumsy feet;

her imagery, her frown,
her silver thinning hair,
her paper like wrinkled skin.
