I see sights
birling, scenes
merging, converging into
colours and people -
photo of lilies,
lace and silk,
poses of velvet,
theft of feeling -
disbelief to have threads
spun but unwoven, spooling
from them to make me,
undergrowth, verdant,
green in my springing -
my
textured colour washes
through me, my fabric
made by others, my
kaleidoscope of one
revolves and splashes
scenes on the wall that
converge to make a life
they never dreamed when they
held hands that day, and smiled.
