As the Body From the Soul
I choose
the strongest thread
amongst the many spools
in my house
to mend
my garments
I pull the loose end of the thread
on the spool of thread
in the sewing basket
slowly
until the thread is taut
and there is no slack
I pull and pull
the thread
until as in the end
the thread leaves the spool
and floats free in the air
as a body from a soul
I leave
the empty spool
in the old sewing basket
while the strong thread
mends
my family’s torn garments
