Cleaning the blades
I protect you from
By gifting them now
They're yours. I turn

Over and over in my
Hand the thought
Of honing a cure
Without an edge
Which is like
A needle

Pulling sides together, a point
Made by fingers
to the mind,
Which never listens
But has no choice in
Who's speaking because

It's all one stitch.
