Miss Leigh Ann Foshee, the most talented knitter I know. Thanks to Leigh Ann I learned how to knit…I still only do one stitch…the “knit stitch”, but I can make really long scarfs because of it. Through learning how to knit I also learned that I’m a kinesthetic learner, a style of learning where doing something with my hands while listening helps me retain information. This was especially helpful in college during liberal arts classes. I probably owe a portion of my decent GPA to Leigh Ann. So cheers to my knitting Sensei; a great teacher, ballerina :) and hair sculptor.

Knit one, Pearl two, Before my feelings come unglued

I’m waltzing on tight ropes In a 1-2-3 rhyme 

Begging and Pleading For it to work this time. I need solace. I need peace. I need a form of some release that comes, not in blades, But in black strings.

Knit one, Pearl two, Before my fingers blood the moon.

I'm living with an eschaton drawn by black and white lines

Searching for a Reason it will all turn out fine, Dotting my teas and crossing my eyes Watching thoughts swim in the  ebbing, grey tide; Waving my heart hello and goodbye, as it bobbles in water, drawn out by the lies.

Knit one, Pear two, Before my soul falls off my shoe.

I'm gulping up the dregs left by this death-sour wine

Retching and  Gagging  as it detonates the mines, cooped up inside, ticking out the time, piercing through my spine, exploding the raging fires that have been hastening their blaze. Maybe I will let them win, the battle between God and sin.

Knit one, Pearl two, bounce your feelings off on me
