The Best Poem Of Jo Bobenhouse Smith

Knot By Knot

block by block
color by color
knot by knot
vintage wool
is looped and knotted.

Now
fingering, savoring
the last little bit
wandering, exploring
the wreckage of 52nd
looking for daddy's little dolly

that was the wonder-;
the burden of you.

Now.
finished, yet unfinished
heart formed, yet unformed
too early, too late

I unravel the last double
crochet

tie off the umbilical:
no need to stay.
