WRAPPED IN DAPPLED LIGHT




WRAPPED IN DAPPLED LIGHT
for Karen

I wind you into the garden
spinning you newly sewn
into quilted color, a light show
from the back side, late
afternoon, slight breeze
dappling sun spary
on white fence, leaves 
separating shade shadows
what is patched flower
what is petalled shine?
O scissor cut shapes,
O Karen in blue sandals
glass-darked wonder-glossed
arms holding what you held
needle-tight, thread-stemmed.

Love, Jim
