Patchwork
Quilts.
I touched
on these before.
If you
actually do use left over or recycled bits of fabric your patchwork quilt can
evoke a spate of memories years later.
A jar of
buttons or a box of spools will do the same thing.
Here’s a
poem about that.
Memories…
The fish
returns to source
by
following the ripples
of his
native current
And time is
not linear as we supposed.
At first we
recall in glimpses
the
aftertaste of our first kiss.
A patchwork
quilt, each patch
a lens viewed at an acute angle;
edges,
corners, truncated aerial frames,
spliced,
diced, dropbox explosion
and then
sheen, sheer, efflorescence
as we dip and
glide between then
and now and
the river of Lethe...
I love buttons! My granny (the knitting granny) had a box-full of them that I used to play with as a little girl! One of the art teachers I follow online, Andrea Joseph, draws buttons and I'm thinking of trying that too! That just gave me an idea for a blog post!
ReplyDeleteMe too. And much prefer when they fall off and I can add them to the jar.....
