Stringing Things: Renhai No. 27

by John Daleiden (jd) & Vaughn Seward (vs)

In the Parlor
women stitch quilt blocks—
the twitter of birds.       /jd

A piece of string in the beak—           /vs
among tree buds, a new nest.           /jd

Babbling brook—
for a fishing pole the boys
find a stick.           /vs
