Layered Fragments, Becoming Whole

In order to Breathe

A hundred skeins of yarn

Unraveling in a quiet orchestra

of colors

haunting maroons, deep blues, muted pinks

burning browns, feathered yellows…

Falling from the ceiling, infinite release


Essence t h r e a d s

Like morbid talismans, proof that she exists

Suspended in perfectly soft, palatable air

Curated space designed
to leave her nude,
exposing
milk white bone

Mockingly held by someone's vision:

Smoked mackerel left in the hot sun

To cure

Artisanal craft, worth defined by a pretty penny
Somehow more sincere than theater
in its intense
stillness

She wanted…

Someone to gather her pieces

And hold them close
like a lost kitten

Against a caring chest
Instead of devouring it like a p a s s i n g

exhibit to be lost in
memories.
