[bodytext] => The Change to Loveliness (pantoum) The crepe-skinned woman mends a part each day with tear-drop hooks and threads of wisdom’s lore her heart, a growing piece of human clay she makes from scattered beads across life’s floor. With tear-drop hook and threads of wisdom’s lore a pattern weaves like single stitched crochet. She makes from scattered beads across life’s floor a patch to cover holes from needless fray. A pattern weaves like single stitched crochet from loops wound ‘round in counts of four on four a patch to cover holes from needles fray and heal the wounds from stab of child-like gore. From loops wound ‘round in counts of four on four her heart begins a holiday ballet and heals the wounds from stabs of child-like gore, a sermon caught in minister’s essay. In time she’s learned the dangers to avoid, the pseudo words debased and paranoid. Her heart’s a growing piece of human clay. The crepe-skinned woman mends a part each day.
