Cut
the string connects us from beginning to end
looping, knotting, stretching
i tell you that i want to be intertwined with you
that i already am, intertwined with you
unintentional and unnoticed
like old necklaces in a jewelry box
like old friends that never truly left
like old tales interweaved over centuries
i tell you to notice the knot we are connected by
how we’d become stronger as thread if we simply twisted
simply embraced the bond put down by the gods
you tell me i’m too intense
and you’re right.
