warp yarn wound around the spool
history is the embrace with her
soul, star are the weights
complex the pattern upon eight shafts
stretched threads like spun cotton strands
solitary she presses the shadow-side
crouched at the spool until she
completely color-blind spins hibiscus pink
the Fates, by their names Clotho
Lachesis who measures the thread’s length
Atropos who chooses the moment
when the thread is broken above the spool,
a timeless creation
that appears—
the stitch roughly knitted,
Lachesis her likeness.
