Mending

by Anastasia Shows

sitting in the sun
trying so hard to
recover from the chill
you are.

I roll my eyes, exhausted,
and look down at my
sweater that is warm,
but ill-fitting at times.
The seams unravel,
and i've lost a
button
here and
there.

but as close as i've come
to discarding it
to some poor wretch,
i continue to pocket
my needle and thread.

What a striking, nicely done bit of character study. I especially loved that middle stanza.
