liezel graham

author | poet | thread artist

I am a storyteller and a poet.

I use words and thread, pencil and needle, paper and fabric.

my work is an ongoing conversation with myself.

my hands are full of love.

shall i leave my words

in the softness of your neck, or here, where your mouth curves

up to smile at me, or perhaps over here, in the valley between

your shoulders.

tell me.

where do i plant my love

so that i can lie down

in fields of you.

— my hands are full of love.
