I am sewing your Halloween costume.   

Sitting in my chair,  

under the light.  

Needle   

and thread  

Needle  

and thread    

It brings me joy.  

To do this thing   

for you   

for me   

and for us   

Why does it bring me joy?   

Make me feel warm and cozy?   

Cozy   

Sewing your Halloween costume   

after dinner  

after a meal, lovingly prepared   

after we gathered ourselves around the table   

and ate   

talked   

shared   

laughed   

full and relaxed   

we clear away the dishes   

and settle down together   

tv   

or    

tinkering   

or sewing   

your Halloween costume
