To My Knitting Needles<br />

Sharp, cold, you twist in my hands.<br />

My knitting needles, clicking and clacking.<br />

You devastate the yarn, pull it to pieces,<br />

Knitting is my favorite pastime activity.<br />

The red pools around the gleam of the needles,<br />

Weaving, writhing, wriggling like slippery snakes<br />

You smell of razor sharp, like knives and chains.<br />

You see nothing, hear nothing, know nothing.<br />

The people slink into the shop, eyes shifty<br />

They talk of revolution, of blood running like wine in the streets,<br />

Weaving the fabric and the plans of the new world.<br />

We know nothing of this, we only knit.<br />

—Sarah Vassello<br />
