that which is thrown across us; by Sophia Gracewe are primitive cloth, words
tightly bound, truth caught
between the warp and weft
of us. it is true that our
hands are sore, rubbed raw
with the ever-quickening
pulling and tightening,
twisting and casting away.
it was fate, perhaps? perhaps
not but still, know this;
that which is thrown across us,
the straight and narrow of
our lives, is faltering, the
structure unsound, unraveling.
whisps of cotton thread and
we all will fall to dust.
