The patience of my sympathizers tires me

Drop a stitch, it runs.
Unpick, pick-up the loops one by one,

Veiling all the layers of strain.

And the grass is moist by the dew
So serene and blessed

  I watch in motion season’s changing guard,

The tactile orgasms and inquisitive Asians
Both ample yet directionally challenged
Growing with each thrust and lunge
My pearl is at Purl

grounded on the banks
a steady stream
of emotions
purl over mind's thoughts
as i skip stones
on the river below
listening to the echoes

as it fades
into the fog
