THIS QUILT

THIS QUILT

This quilt a kaleidoscope of 
corduroy colours  
a struggle to even 
out lucid lovers 
cotton wool lies in 
bumpity flats
I unravel thread
just like that cat !

Stitches are too loose or tight
corners say alright, so blight
while mantras race in light
“THE GRACE OF 
IMPERFECTION TIGHT ” !

So like my country of carnivals 
which takes too long in its winter 
silent squares want to sing
songs of black swans to bring

Quilt quiet queenly comely ! 
Can I commence a new project ?
another challenging 
lesson to learn
fingers ache sore 
sessions to earn 
this quilt into deep 
sheep sleep
forlorn, forlorn
I dream of yellow 
corn !
