Like Crochet



The holes in my head are knitting together
Leaving tough clumps, where once was space
Memories covered with thickness:
Stodgy thoughts amble slowly through

Vacant-lot gaze remains steady
Underwater ears deaf to melody
Feet continue One after One
Curled coiled heart remains unsung

I try to grasp onto a thought
Make something stay Solid & Strong
Wisps of lightness linger by briefly
Cannot be undone.

The holes in my head are knitting together
As each beautiful untruth decays
I'm better - I'm grown - I'm changed
If I'm quiet: I can hear my old self eroding
