Work Text:
in, out, in out.
one, two, one two.
in, out, in, out.
put the needle in, and pull it though.
in, out, in, out.
keep your hands and stitches steady.
in, out, in, out.
dont think, keep your mind empty.
in, out, in, out.
keep your breathing normal as footsteps echo.
in, out, in, out.
cut the thread,
pull the needle off,
tie a knot.
move to the next.
in, out, in, out.
pay no mind to the bleeding red fabric.
in, out, in, out.
let your thoughts not haunt you.
in, out, in, out.
the halls of edges to sew are endless.
in, out, in, out.
as the needle drops from your hands,
curved from the use,
or was it that way before?
the shadow that towers over you,
what youd done is not enough.
and the tables are endless,
your thoughts betray you as you whisper
"the raw edges of a wound are no different from fabric"
youd long since forgot which one it was.
