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