THREAD DIARY / by Pam Sutherland

Playing with ways of juxtaposing word and image: frame weaving + poetry

 

Thread Two: Neopolitan

 

Our bed is a melting ice cream sandwich

born of two matches

identical in their lack of flame.

Over under,

in and out,

we weave our majestic domestic

despite desire’s demise.

To pull the lust out of this specimen

would require another kind of milk.

We married the one that remembers to pick it up;

not the one that spills.
