threads

holding on by a thread
a colored thread of gold
another found thread of delight
another of memory
another of my loyal body
who signed up for the journey
holding on by a thread
through the night
barely
and another day
sun rising
showing himself or not
a slender breath
mingling with the winter
threaded branches
sewn to the sky
holding on
