Notes About The Poem
The Fates having woven weave on. ~CA

they leave out happiness

It's raining again
wind is a tempest
scattering leaves
making patterns
or not I shrug
much like a weaving
planning destiny
those sisters 
those witches        
they weave and they snip
then weave again
though I cannot 
see the tapestry
they leave out happiness
deliberately I think
they think 
I would die
for a spot of joy
and they aren't ready
to snip that last 
knotted thread
not this year
and not I fear next
