seamstress

i forget about the tear
in the pocket
of my favorite jeans.
and money falls
out on a daily
basis. keys, and a pen,
hit the floor,
roll away
and spin,
a note i was going
to send. i forget
about the hole
and think perhaps
that it will seal
on it's own.
not by my own hand,
with needle and thread,
but by divine
intervention, or by
someone like you
who knows how
to sew and mend.

a good seamstress goes without buttons, snaps, zippers, hooks and eyes. she mends others' garments, while wrapping herself in less than a robe requiring little attention. while others take measures to hide behind, she feels freedom with the breath of a breeze. a good seamstress loves what she does and gives unselfishly.
