Art of The Weaver
The patchwork of my heart
It beats only because it’s hanging on
by thread.
Pulling it gently, to piece back together
resurrecting the parts that were dead.
*
Dripping, congruent to squeezing a tangerine,
pouring out the very last drop.
But not wasted because he salvaged the
pulp of my throb;
*
Of my pain, and every inch of grain.
The potency, of my heart.
Weaving the needle in and out,
removing the dart.
*
It soreness stitched back together,
just a light crack in the center.
*
Stood in the palm of the Weavers hand,
was all of my hurt;
the pitter-patter of my pulse,
was the muse to his patchwork.
