about

Stitching the body together.

{ inspired by "Baltimore, Maryland, 'Album' quilt" by Martha E. Keech }

lyrics

i started sewing myself together last night,
darning the holes i keep tearing in my skin,
reattaching my limbs, fixing all my broken angles,
stitching myself together with the miles of thread
i stole from the one craft store

in the one street town where I grew up,

bandaging my wounds, patching my body
with faded family photographs,
pages ripped from diaries,
stained cotton shirts and jeans with worn out knees,
and the fallen leaves and flower petals
i’ve been saving and pressing between
the pages of my favorite poetry books,

mending all my fractured seams

with the different types of stitches
i learned in my fifth-grade sewing class elective
