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

This moves along with such lovely rhythms and images.
Loved where you took this inspiration, the perspective you gave it.
