    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

      From: Poudre Park, Colorado

      DOB: 08/24/68

      Sex: Male

      Age: 45

      Hair: Brown

      Eyes: Green

      Height: 4’8" (at age 10)

      Weight: 74 lbs. (at age 10)

      Date Missing: 04/30/78

      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
