Threads (Pernille R. Quigg)

The needle is threaded pinned in the cloth
left for a moment just to be picked up
the cross-stitching neat, straight lines at the back
the skilled precision that my hands lack

The thread that led from you to me
the past that sets the present free

It lay in the drawer with needles and thread
alongside the memories of something you said
the rust from the needle I gently release
I unfold the cloth and smooth every crease

The thread that led from you to me
the past that sets the present free

The first stitch is slow as I try to recall
the patterns to follow though one stitch is small
when stitch upon stitch is carefully placed
like life upon life I remember your face

The thread that led from you to me
the past that sets the present free.
