A sweater

100 22 31
                                    

Threads of red and blue interwoven

Into each other;

Uniformly tangling till they form

A neat collar of a white shirt.

My head remains amazed of

How fingers perform the art of knitting.

For whenever my hands reach for the needle

The knot grows tighter until,

Mangled webs become home to weeds.

So that I end up weaving shreds

That make rags proud;

And wrap myself around with them

As if they were a sweater.
