Fabric

Threads of us
Fine and coarse unreeling
Lines recast
Knotted branches reaching

Silhouette by the streetlamps
Pavement wet
Velvet soft
Sequins dance

Our lives are forever
Stitched together with
The threads of us
Passing lanes of patchwork
Imperfect squares of texture
Fastened with
The threads of us

There's a tear in the fabric
I don't know we can fix it
On the other side, there's a world unlike this one
And so many more we've never imagined before

Our lives are forever
Stitched together with
The threads of us
Passing lanes of patchwork
Imperfect squares of texture
Fastened with
The threads of us
