“The Thread That Holds”
We can't.
We cannot.
We mustn't.
Let's go.

Book, open.
The spine already knows
what the hands have touched.
Thread from lamp
to lamp.
Thread from chopsticks
to the particular silence
between courses.
Thread from the waiting-room chair
(the small jacket on its arm
waiting also)
to here.
Thread from a shoreline
that may not have been real
to the red
that insists it was.
A cartography made
not of distance
but of what would not
let go.
The book does not close.
The Red Thread
You are the red thread connecting Andrew's open book to a shoreline that may not have been real — tap to keep the thread taut against the fraying dark before the four vignettes forget they were ever connected.
