Short Seamstresses Poems

Smoke on the water or dust in the wind,
Rain has been purple since innocence sinned.
The levee is dry and the spirit retired,
But song-writing seamstresses still seem inspired....

Tiny protection for 

Those seamstresses ' small fingers.

Thimbles come in sizes.
 
Test the samples, ladies

Thoughtfully get right fit.

Thrust on embroiderers. 

Threads will become great art!...

find me here
in
this
concrete form
delusionally real
sinking into seams
seamstresses  seaming
what has been stitched
in
me
needle to flesh
she has stolen
my
breath
find me here my dear
find me here
your arms are my addiction
your love opens the shore
find me here
in
the
sand
sinking for more
anchored by this concrete form
find me here
?...

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men,
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

The Queen’s seamstresses they tried to sew,
The footman with glue he had a go,
Even the gardener tried, with horse poo!
The wizard attempted, with something taboo.

In the end, it was over; the Priest had to pray
And Henri the chef made them all a soufflé!...
