Joseph's Coat
Rated: 13+ | Poetry | Death | #1570658
bring back old mem'ries of a soft caress, of woven thread, the felted warmth
Joseph's Coat

         in memory of Susanna Springer

Card clean wool.
Spin it loose or tight.
Dye yarn rainbows
or leave them natural shades of white,
of beige, of black.

Bring back old mem'ries of a soft caress,
of alpaca fleece,
the felted warmth
that wicked from skin.

What woven shroud will hold your aura now.
What loud refrain will fade
as beauty fades,
as what was birthed from earth and sky,
a double weave, once blessed,
returns to warp and weft,
the spirit cloak,
that never will unravel nor betray.
