if only a heart could wear a scarf ...

if only a heart could wear a scarf ... i see you have kept our love in a wicker basket full of faded wool the remnants of the knitting that you began in the fall unravelled over the winter and then knit again in the spring i suppose you worried that my heart would grow cold over the passage of time as if the pulse of my love had an end like the last flicker of a failing star and i suppose you imagined that if only a heart could wear a scarf it would remain warm and vital through even the most bitter freeze of emotion but now i see you have no more time for knitting when i most need a sweater to keep me warm instead you unwrap me from your arms and with a final kiss tell me to go Copyright © Kennedy James, 2006.
