Writing is like teaching my daughter how to braid.


There are the threads –
the colors not even complimentary –
knotted in the brain,
and the work of weaving,
crisscrossing
at just the right points,
visiting this strand, then that one, again and again,
the undoing, re-plaiting
final product
and – oh, this
the want of someone somewhere:

Will you wear this on your wrist?
