knitting
sometimes
when the warm tide of your skin
flows under my touch with hushed abandon
I see your fury; the deepcold
sores(bootprint tattoos)not so old
cutting into the(then)girl(now),
sharp stones formed of
some fellow's wrong.
(I am not afraid)
i will smother your hurting places
with long years of holding;
act
by
act
i will cover
your wrathful wounds
like shells of pearl
around sharp sands.
i will make those bitter grains
into jewels of trust
to treasure in your mind's hand.
