Knitting with syllables
pen and purl
lexical needles
pattern unfurls
pencils slip stitches
pens purl clichés
scheming skeins
unpicking dreams
slip stitch sibilance
cast off vigilance
trying hard again
to crochet a cardigan
No – not me
I prefer
knitting poems.

I fill the world with words
so you can’t find me
in a tangle of text
hiding in lex-
-ical tom
foolery
silently
spoken, yet
shards in the heart
worlds far apart from
where I retreat to sanctuary

Are you a ghost?
Taunting my memories
possessed by
a thought
fleeting
shadow
lurking
in the corner
of my heart
haunted by
circumstances
