8I lost my hands & knit replacement ones \
9from spiders' threads, stronger than steel but soft \
10as lambs' wool. Catching as they do on nails \
11& your collarbone, you don't seem to like \
12their rough warm presence on your [cheek or thigh][]. \
13I've asked you if you minded, you've said no \
14(your face a table laid with burnt meat, bread \
15so stale it could [break a hand][]). Remember \
16your senile mother's face above that table? \
17I'd say she got the meaning of that look. \
18You'd rather not be touched by these rough gloves, \
19the only way I have to knit a love \
20against whatever winters we may enter \
21like a silkworm in a spider's blackened [maw][].
