You started tugging at yarn, searching for purchase, fingering the seams until one stubborn stitch gave way, and you had the end you needed. Small tugs to unravel a spanish shawl, intricate with detail your needle and mine in tandem stitchery. My, that didn't hurt a bit. I watched the cloth shrink, pucker and turn to simple thread, thinking I knew that someday we might have to put this away, but never expecting to be undone. I knew you had to go my love... I just never guessed that you would count it as a kindness to undo all we had been rather than risk a goodbye kiss. And did you really say I would be just fine as you gave one last hard tug, turning me ass over tea kettle to mourn a tapestry I thought we both loved? My, that didn't hurt a bit. |
