Tapestry

Posted by camilla on January 4, 2011 - 14:22
from the ABC set Everyone In America

The garden canvas is printed
but only half worked
bluetits are making tent stitch
around the the nuts
as if invisible fingers
were wearing them
flashing feathers
darting with fine wool and silks
building up colour
thread by thread
I wonder if it comes in a kit

new camila
I really like this,the way the words are woven.
I can't do tapestry,but once made a rug.Like the way birds brought into poem.
