My Mind is Made of Wool



A loose thread
The hand that pulls it
Its quiet undoing;
Unraveling in a feverish time loop
My futile, frantic pleas for a circle to find its end
And the way my heart falters when I'm left with a pool of yarn at my feet.

About this poem

desperately trying to fix something only to make it worse/ destroy it in the process.
