Dear Tender

From cloth to needled hand.

silhouette of mountains during dawn

Stitch me a shield
against the moment
of my erasure,
thread a horse
to carry me over
the next pass.

My legs are tired
and I have lost
the thread.

Inspired by the work of ZoĆ« Buckman, whose solo exhibition, Tended, is now in New York.
