Poetry © Saman Asadi

For a moment time stood still, notes resonated around the room.

The old Singer sewing machine connects all the generations of women in Emma’s family.

Garments sewn, worn out and resewn, they are the threads that bind.

Sometimes we need to create our own

Sense of belonging

To find our extended families, our tribe

We yearn for a safe harbour

In which to immerse our dreams

To connect with our primeval selves

And abandon the constraints of daily living

To allow us to be closer to our truer nature

Even in a handmade fur suit.
