foxinthestarsI wrote this one a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd post it. Jessie will probably know who inspired it, too...
Why do you read, write, speak,
Back and forth,
Back and forth,
Sewing your distinctions to truth
With spider-silk threads?
Setting them down would be easier.
The chaos you fear will not come.
If you still your whirling needle,
And listen,
You will know peace;
You will know what chaos is.
Your needle, freed from desperation,
Will know the next stroke
Of Embroidery.
