Promises I never do keep

It's been awhile...


So I may just type up a few things jotted down on scraps of paper left here and there.


Things that could be read, if anyone cares to read them.


But if no one does, that's okay, too. The internet is better preservation than receipt bits. 


Here's one:


_____



knit, purl, knit, purl, knit, purl. Change needles.
slip, twist, curses, untangle, rethread, knit, purl.
Almost today. Words were on the tip of my tongue, and they might have worked. I didn't say them, though. Not today.
knit, purl, knit, purl, knit two together. Change needles.
Maybe if I had, this would have been it. This could have been my moment, the one I've been waiting for, looking for, hoping for.
slip, slip, knit two together. knit, purl, knit, purl. slip, pull slipped stitch over.
I didn't, though.
knit, purl, knit, drop, rethread. drop, rethread. knit.
If I had.
pull stitch. rethread. purl, knit, purl.
Not today.
Change needles. knit, purl, knit, purl, knit, purl, knit, purl.

  1. Esther, this is beautifully done.

    It is sad, too. If ever you have things to say, say them. You say them well.

    I miss you, dear.
