It all started with an idea.

The drama escalating with a Persil smelling bed sheet, Auntie Margaret and me… somewhere.

The play continues.

I stood swirling above myself:
green tights,

I now have a glimpse of my cut out shadows of shadows,
my layers of tinted glass.

Patterns within patterns, you and I within each other and Mister God within us all.

I am now sewing my poetry within the cosmic eye…I am all full…

and I end within your middle.
