LEARNING BRAILLE

stillness hangs taut
like stories embroidered
on monk’s cloth

its weave loose
until my needle jabs through

I know each thread

colors carefully chosen,
shelf paper
for naked cupboards

smiling crookedly at the oddities
that floss has created

I lay my fingers
on top
and read
each tale
