Noticing a lot more slack around the edges of the narratives I weave
And a looser weave too
Though often still very beautiful or intricate, interconnected or intriguing or/and also abstract or detailed

And an openness to the unraveling
A delight even
In the unraveling

And still patches
Threaded tightly
Painful, densely stitched
Band-aiding, unsuccessfully, deeper wounds

And of course this narrative too
Held in open palms
Well worn hands

And the Weaver herself
Fraying
In the middle
At the edges
