Threading The Needle

bloody fingers hand sews
with width of hair string
the edges of the looping
of a delicate life fabric
stitching and re-stitching time
of thread borne material
ripping at edges
continually repaired by tears
that have fallen leaving prints
he alone
holds the control of
the needle threading colors
of his stringed wants
double twisted and tied
then sticks her tender
naked fingers again and again
as patterns become solid crimson
sitting alone repairing
her broken heart

Some very cool images in this. Beautifully, poetically...sad.
