while scissors sleep

While scissors sleep

Ties that bind are held entwined by strands of time

Severed with the silver snip of tarnished tomorrow

Red Thread Dread

Dread Red Thread

 

While scissors sleep

Swirling spirals decorate & activate our fabric

Blood burgundy & fleshy concentricity

Red Thread Dread

Dread Red Thread

 

While scissors sleep

Lifecycle personified, twisting & slicing paper galaxy

Three sisters spin, weave, & sever individual patterns of tapestry

Red Thread Dread

Dread Red Thread

 

While scissors sleep

The Sister with the shears shimmers in the weave of my Love

Which was more than a love, luxurious dreams alive in mine

Red Thread Dread

Dread Red Thread

 

So

While scissors sleep

My Love & I sew ourselves together, styles stitched in gold

To withstand the cutting distance of death:

Satin streamers snapping against wild blue yonder

Toward crashing crests of sepulchral sorrow

while scissors sleep
