time is a material

 re-constructed ninety year old wool blanket

Petty Harbour Newfoundland

 that this cloth holds time and memory is evident

 in the several threadbare areas

Cape Broyle, Newfioundland

 these worn places evoke the man,

 woman, or child who lay with the blanket

Ferryland, Newfoundland

 and repeatedly pulled it up as a covering

 I have darned some of the more worn areas

Renews, Newfoundland

 strengthened the edges with blanket stitch

to add another layer of human touch.
