Needles and Knives
Over and under
index and thumb
slip on the knot flick your wrist
untangle
entwine
unravel
take it again from the bottom
over and under
flashing of steel
into the hole created wrap around gently
ensnaring sachets of multicolored sweets
back out again
over and under
your feet in the sand
a cool breeze made by
the changing leaves
softness abandoned
by lost souls using a broken map
over and under
make careful incisions
separate rind
from flesh
for meat
until the glowing has depth
and to top it all off
add a cape that goes
under and over
