CROCHETING THROUGH THE KNOTS

Follow the line of the wool yarn, literallyFocused on untying, using my abilityStruggling to unravel the unkempt threadsHoping to get it done before energy’s dead The yarn in knots like the threads of my life  Keep the line in sight, maintain life’s rifeEach strand disappears, like life’s roadsEach strand represents a code
Feel like I’m about to implodeAnother episode losing bloodI die inside, another life budsStill a young blood in my headMy body betrays numerous threadsCry about all that’s left unsaidCan’t go back in time to retreadStep ahead, can’t forget the dead
Blood turn my panties bright redMy body dreads being overfedThink I’ve forgotten my purposeMundane concerns usurp usOverwhelmed by the burden Can’t throw out the wordingRemain in my brain absorbing
Memories like they’re hoarding me
