Berthe Morisot
Time with you
I mended your cover today.
With every stitch
you came closer to me.
You were in the sun’s warmth
in the birds’ song
in the breeze
and even in the needle.
Dear margherita,
Thank you for these beautiful words:
You smiled to me
through the torn fabric
to make me forgive Zelda the cat
who adores the cover just like me
but ignores its fragility
and its precious charge
of indelible memories.
I mended your cover today
and you were right here
blessing me
in such a special way
spending your time with me.
