Inspiration

Inspired by what I wrote here, this:

Texturized

My friend Joan
is quilting a portrait of me--

not a literal portrait,
but rather her impression
of who I am,
based on fifteen years
of knowing me.

I hope it's a little glittery,
with some snakeskin
nestled among
healing blues and greens,
certainly, a few ragged edges,
bits of leather and lace, and
one or two homely bows,
appropriate in their contradiction.

I will hang in on the wall
above my couch,
a mirror
and a wish.
