Knitted Together

Knitted Together
If you pull that little thread will it all fall apart?

Unraveling poetry,
a thread within the skein.
What is the message?
What do the words mean?

Knit one, pearl two;
working from the back.
Can you see a pattern
as the needles click and clack?

As the fingers flow,
do they even know
what is the final plan
for what you’re holding in your hands?

A project in the making,
the time that it is taking –
does the final arrival
mean more than the travel?
