slams down
needle
that threads bones
knits skin,
muscles without force
to hold to hold
back,
blunt-edged
riveted
Pavement
that corners you,
family that falls apart
less flayed fingers stay their sockets-
-father from your grip fallen
mother falling
sister/wife
child child child
whose stubborn wants
you can’t still
& hold
in place
through the eye of your voice
& the thrust of your hand
