Threads

Thin,

fragile,

inconsequential

-yet-

binding.

*

Threads for garments,

woven with care.

Threads on a screw,

to build or repair.

Threads of a story,

meant to share.

Veins thread through bodies,

of which we're hardly aware.

*

Sometimes,

life feels held together

by nothing more

than a single thread,

perhaps slowly unraveling...

perhaps destined to end

with a quick

snap.
