Notes About The Poem

It's In You

It’s in 
The way you hold the needle
Between your lips

As you spread material
Across your lap.

It’s in 
The way you wet the thread,
Lips formed as if to whistle.

It’s in 
The way you close one eye
To thread the needle.

Always getting it right 
Always making it work

Because 

You bring things together.
It’s like that with you.

The love you have to share
Is everywhere
