Joseph's Coat

         in memory of Susanna

Card clean wool.
Spin it loose or tight
in natural shades of white
or grey or black;
bring back old memories of a soft caress,
of woven thread,
the felted warmth
that wicked from skin.

What shroud will hold your aura now.
What loud refrain will fade
as beauty fades,
as what was birthed from earth and sky,
once blessed,
returns to warp and woof,
the spirit cloak,
that never will unravel nor betray.
