Quilting
Slip a thimble
on your finger
pick a remnant
from your sack
sew
the ragged
pieces
back together
with perfect
rows of white stitches

This poem is from the book The Bone Picker by Lisa Underwood (Finishing Line Press), and can be found at https://finishinglinepress.com/product/the-bone-picker-by-lisa-underwood/
Lisa Underwood is a poet and writer who is drawn to visual imagery which she translates to the page in a spare artistic style that reverberates with echoes of other worlds, both real and imagined. Her poetry can be still and peaceful; uplifting and encouraging, a place of quiet reflection and love. Some of her themes are darker, reflective of a world that can be very hard to live in, for people of all ages and persuasions.
