there is saturated optimism
lurking in the threads which weave
between our blanket's thick long sleeves.
every layer compiles rich warmth and graceful weight,
the tendencies and favors constantly accumulate.
this compatibility tends to near motivate
the crawling shivers which slowly evaporate and
the pessimism to dissolve.
then, steadily accelerate.
if there was ever optimism
inside the threads i've long woven
where our blanket's warmth had suddenly frozen,
then the shivers which constantly knit across my heart
have been stitched inside out from the very start.
