The
Invention of Birds
The
second annual collection from the Island Women Poets
Dedicated
in loving memory of Sheila McMaster
I
sit with my threads and needles,
my mind’s eye
filled with the brilliance.
My fingers stitch feather to wing,
carve bone hollow as flute,
start the minute machinery of heart.
