Useful

Hers is a brittle braiding of bone
Pulled and tensioned to their breaking point
and let lapse directly before the snap.
What’s to be said
of this thin rope woman?
What finders will run along her frayed end pieces?
Which burden will be her last to tow?
What’s to be said
of a lifetime made up of a million tangled threads?
