The Quilter


Not the amber leaves
raked tumbling by August winds
across kinds of lawns.

Look – the bare branches,

the hushed temple’s arching bones.

It’s not like we don’t
ornament our days with need,
these patterns exposed;

a song is work’s whims,
patched together – amplified
colors of the soul.
