The soft velvet cushion housed five steel needles
Each pointed in angularity, for their threads would stretch taut
...until the lid resealed

Before the needles, perfect circles of felt tip dented the smooth red floor
The tip, although naked, lay blotching deep in a silver thimble,
...awaiting a stained fingernail

Never thought I'd see the day you'd throw me for a loop Bluesy, but you did on this one. I mean, about the time I think I got it,the next line would confuse me and I wouldn't have it at all. Maybe I'm just being stupid. ~L

I have a Mason of shine that was given me. It could have been to blame. It had something to do with either a coffin or a sewing box.

She has experience with both. So Sweet, too.

Did somebody say shine? What flavor? Apple cinnamon/apple pie is real popular here right now. Yummy!
