weaving ritual is a naive attempt at mending the snapped threads in a bond between two bodies. 
a bitter prayer to conjure a flow of healing. 
a final grasp at frayed ends.
what began as a single fever blossomed wildly, every dizzying session a hydra head. 
the humble first thread became a fuller bloom, a cloying summer pollen thick with seed and dragging six fat strands: 

the jaundice stains of sulphur, 
the delicate spider wire, 
the ragged bone, 
the oil-stained concrete overpass, 
the derivative, 
and the solitary. 
sculpted as a whole, the sums of their parts are as crucial as the gaps between them.
