a row of knit stitch
followed by
a row of purl,
minding your ps and

** in the absence of The Daily Post from WordPress, here’s your daily prompt: stitch

clearing the first row

clearing the first row
across your corn on
the cob has a casting-
on quality – everything
relies on those first
stitches, how cleanly
you hook the kernels,
dig in between. it’s
quite a breeze after
that, not overlooking
a pinch of patience

some days, god –

some days, god –
with his night cap
still on – wakes
before the mrs.
to get an early
start on the
darning. holes
never repair
themselves,
and the earlier
stitches were
just evolution
playing
tricks again

longing is a loose

longing is a loose
thread – so much
and not enough
tugging yields
an absolute
emptiness, a piece
of ourselves
that has lost
its shape

Sunday morning

Sunday morning
pounced
on and started
to disentangle
an hour out of the day
like scooping out the
center pull ball from
a spool of variegated
sunrise. the tip of
Spring winked and
streaked across the
cotton sky, building
ladders from the
day’s rain
