medley of patchwork
soft vintage to
contemporary brights
flutter with
each puff of wind
as if elated on this
their glorious day
in the sun _
transmitting joy
crowds of people
walking, gazing,
chattering
spirits lifted
by this sight
of handiwork
hanging from every
roof, wall, fence
and balcony
a festival of quilts
