A Quilt For Dietrich Bonhoeffer
()
About this ebook
During NaPoWriMo, or National Poetry Writing Month, this author’s goal was to fashion one poem per day throughout April 2014. That objective was met in a gamut of poems, many concerning quilting and the martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Other subjects were tackled, such as writing, chemotherapy, music, baseball, and laundry, sometimes within one poem. Ultimately, this volume is bound by fabrics and faith, and the question of what a twentieth century pastor silenced by the Nazis might have done if he’d conjured sewing a quilt.

Christopher Vigil has been missing for nearly 36 years. A picture of him from 1978, as well as an age-progressed photo, caught my eye as I ate dinner this evening, reminding me of a poem a day in April.
Is he alive, long dead?
Regardless, people remain who remember him.
My prayers are with them all.
The Following Way
Ah St. Paul
and his letters;
those Pauling treaties
exhorting the Romans, Ephesians,
Galatians, Philippians,
Thessalonians and Colossians.
To Timothy, Titus and Philemon,
and to those at Corinth.
Two letters to the Corinthians;
Saint Paul had something to say
no matter where
