A string slides
While dirt clings
to surrounding hairs

Its’ place is found
The knots are sown
The cloth is done

So is the path of string
On its way to becoming more
While being less

An echo carries today
A memory away
In stillness, in fog

Sounds insulated
Smells profound,
Memories pull the string

The knot unties
Emotions pour in
Filling the space where the union had been
