(designed by mother and son in tandem)
Mother and son don their baseball hats
Who says every hat
brings a bad hair day? Mothers’
hair springs eternal!

in Poetry, Stitches Tags: Alexander Jasins, dress after dress, form the new child's imagined face, let stitches out, stitches, to free some body's swinging space
illustrated by Alexander Jasins
James Wright
The girls let stitches out, dress after dress,
To free some swinging body’s riding space
And form the new child’s unimagined face.
from his poem: “Complaint”

Quatern
Make the complex simple
awesomely simple;
that’s creativity!
translucent diadems.
Charles Mingus
Thoughts too weak:
make the complex simple;
empty them, start again:
they’re beyond cognition.
Luc de Claplers
Try for plainness
selflessness:
make the complex simple
polished core revealed.
Lao-Tsu
Birdsong, sky and weather:
luminous and spare;
look through them to see the world;
make the complex simple!
Stanley Kunitz
