The dreams i have
Rip the seems of my mind.
Blinding my vision of reality,
All that is left is fatality.
Cutting me open,
Then stitching me up,
I just can't seem to keep in touch,...

Stitching through

The blue water lakes

Approaching misty mountains

Turned upside down

Coming home again

While laughing and singing

Their favorite bird songs...

In the 18th century
Sewing machines are 
stitching
A full-page

Spin Doctor


A crusty old spinster sat stitching
while scratching the parts that were itching
oohing and ahhing

at least for the moment stopped bitching.

Soft smiles 
creeping, hesitating; 

Mending, 
I keep slowly unraveling; 

Soft smiles 
continually calling my bluff;

Mending, 
You’re slowly stitching my heart;

Mending soft smiles;
I think I want to smile back....

A stitching of parables,
a weaving of psalms

Whether ancient or modern,
the truth plaited long

The story we tell,
with one pattern beset

A patchwork of tailors
—whose needles profess

sewing elf with his knitted socks and his crocheted bibs
sits among the wild flowers, counting neonate nursery cribs.
stitching up mattress covers and fluffy pillows for the young.
he has a keen sense of humor and laughs like a beetle dung....

   riding up and down, everywhere.

   be they silk or cotton refined.
There they go again
  every time I bend
with the slip and flow
  of stitching down low,
it's just my underwear
  revealing some of my derriere....

mountain ridges of clouds
  o'er my windshield spread
interspersed, baby-blue patches
  brilliant spaces, like threads
stitching skies' stories together
  a hobbled glance ahead of
cars tethered to a 
  snarled, honking freeway,
blustery rage moving in, I dread...

the thread
of poetry
consists of silken strands
of syllables

each strand
is carefully 
arranged into fine lines 
of lovely words

one’s pen
is the needle
stitching golden verses
onto parchment

The curvy road led me to the curvaceous girl. 
Sitting on a bench I found her stitching thread by thread a garment. Its crystal clear I had landed myself a tailor-made chick. 
Her hips poured and filled the bench. I bet she was from space because her figure was out of this planet....
