Analysis of Judith, Put your needles down.
Grey haired lady
I hear your needles
click and knit my fate.
Mounting rows of fragrant yarns
redolent in memories twined.
Do soft clicking knots and pearls
shield you from the gloom
of empty polished drawing rooms?
Do floors of muted marble veinings
revive the finger tracings
I graved upon your back?
Muted patterns and frayed ends now
ask remembrance.
Judith, put your needles down..
