Analysis of The Needle
How she adored watching the old woman's hands,
As they meticulously wove in and out of the tattered rags.
Bringing new life through the point of the needle.
How she abhored watching the doctors hands,
As they meticulously wove in and out of her tattered body.
Sealing death, through the point of the needle.
