envelope cape - inverse



"...gently gently they whisper
to bounce words over soft aural folds
rolling them in, on and around
to hit that drum drum drum"


one piece of fabric, no seams
fold fold fold
button button button button
and somehow a little like a big over coat, or an envelope

an origami accident in a not too distant suture

envelope cape comprises one large flat seamless sheet
held in place by two sniper precise buttons
and one folded hood, too held by same mode
hand bound edges, and Turkish found buttons

hard Swiss wool
copper hand bound edges of Australian Military 1950's deadstock lining
corduroy covered buttons
needle and thread
