knitting
swirling colour
ruby red and
sea blue and
golden yellow and
starry silver and
olive flesh
knitting
knitting
dreams and
hopes and
incredible thought and
potential
knitting them
knitting
talent and
generous gift and
refining failure and

strong hands immeasurable create and unfold beauty with undefinable love and
strong hands surrender the creation to the creature they have once created and
omniscient eyes know
weak hands absolutely hold the tapestry to wind ravenously with blind mind and
weak hands lose the threads painfully and dumbly and numbly to madness quickly

and unraveling
unraveling
tomorrows and
freedom and
developing character
unraveling them
unraveling
little legs and
running and
tears and
laughter
unraveling
unraveling
bone white and
nightsky black and
cranberry red and
treeleaf green and
unraveling
unraveling
unraveling
