Someone Here is Stranded*
someone here is stranded
left with a hole
threadbare
like worn jeans
ten years old
someone here is stranded
left holding the warp
and weft
with no extra hands
to make the mend
waiting for someone
with a needle
to stitch and patch
to gather the strands
and make it new again
