punch holes left by the gold tip of your
light-plied needle pink French knots
buttons the mother of pearl no mention
of who is the father the river is a slosh
with seed pearls all dying for a berth
crickets

not as a foreplay but with the intent of
cocoa
perhaps a tulsi before bedtime breakfast
to look forward to you have made me
this
garment life a daily
covenant for us both
I also wonder about the father of pearl
