Detached as a leaf from a stem
stitches loosens from the bottom of a hem;
they will come to you, my boy in droves
even if you stuff your face with garlic cloves

To be required and then sought after
to be unneeded and not looked after
are at either end of the magic stick
are contraries held by the candle wick.

The wax melts and to some degree warmth is felt
I have been so accustomed as to think it permanent
affection is as temporary as a costume belt
fit and proper for a scene, to the next a detriment.


Partake..join a group and socialize
extend your public reach..or exorcise...
of the need to be the apple of every eye
contacts inevitably break, by and by
the feel of stitches lies in the hand of the sewer
are constantly rekindled as he grows older...
or does he become imbibed in the need to reflect
about the number of stitched years he has left

Interesting choice of words...stitches are something I know a little about...and it would seem that whether they are cross stitch or repair...the fabric becomes a new and strengthened garment to be worn well.
Enjoyed this write. TD
