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