I don't mean to be out-of-touch, but what dissertation are you working on and what is your subject, a huge endeavor whatever the goal.
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, I'm visiting your blog for the first time... and finding a lovely peace here. Your work is beautiful, I love the photos of the cottage... and am inspired by your word list. I feel a kindred spirit here. I'm going to continue my exploration of your world, thanks!

time
woven
worn
rewoven
sewn
dark edges
raveled
into where
any edge
might
open
threadbare
unbuttoned
dyed
a deeper
and already
faded
blue
sky meets
sea meets
shore
and
our hems
soaked
and
much
later
dried
salten
crusts
handwashed
our garments
and
our skin
she left
the feather
and
the puka
braided
into her hair
i stirred
the chowder
and
in my mind
designed
the patchwork
and
bindings
needed to survive
