Threadbare

by V. Blake

early morning detachments--
the kinds that remove themselves
far enough from things unconditional
to fray this love just ever so slightly
and then leave our waking
almost elegantly
threadbare

Author's Note: Hello Pathetic. It's been awhile.

This has a ring of truth to it that makes one do a double take. Nice write Vince.

You cause my imagination to strike out in new directions this morning shortly after awakening. Threadbare awakening... fascinating thing to think about. Thanks for the eye-opener, Vince.

Not sure if this is meant to be positive or negative, but I do like the way you've laid it out. The title cleverly leaves the reader to comtemplate the implications: threadbare...things slide more easily...hard to hold on to, but can't grip as well without the threads.

This is a very nice use of the thread, frays, and I especially like the word "detachments".

I sense a feeling of love lived through years of wear and tear, still hanging on to the thinnest, but carbon fiber filled strength, of love.

This is thoughtful, easy, lingering, elegant...and i will cling to it today. smh
