Tale of Two Needles
~ (with apologies to Charles Dickens)
.
Was Madame DeFarge recording events
or was she creating them
with the click-click of her needles?
The yarn she pulled
from infinity,
the scarf
destined for eternity -
and so must we
in the worst of times
knit them and pearl them
into the best.
