below pinking-shear leaves
the wind zippering
across the water’s surface
A Tailored Day
Needles and Thread
evergreen thread
stitching together
each season to the next
Stitched
snow threads
through thistle needles
quilting winter
Sewn
the spider’s thread
with tensile strength of steel
stitches dawn to day
Repair
zigzag
is the stitch
that repairs the spider’s web
Fairie’s Pincushion
The wee folk embroider
with echinacea needles
using flower filament thread.
