To My Knitting Needles<br />
Sharp, cold, you twist in my hands.<br />
My knitting needles, clicking and clacking.<br />
You devastate the yarn, pull it to pieces,<br />
Knitting is my favorite pastime activity.<br />
The red pools around the gleam of the needles,<br />
Weaving, writhing, wriggling like slippery snakes<br />
You smell of razor sharp, like knives and chains.<br />
You see nothing, hear nothing, know nothing.<br />
The people slink into the shop, eyes shifty<br />
They talk of revolution, of blood running like wine in the streets,<br />
Weaving the fabric and the plans of the new world.<br />
We know nothing of this, we only knit.<br />
—Sarah Vassello<br />
