Analysis of Yarns, Hands, Tears And Touch
Our imperfections
And yarns with wonderful flaws
Display uniqueness
Speaking hands express
A vast array of feelings
Too furtive for words
Hot tears, drenching wet
Let sadness quietly drain
Wringing the heart dry
The touch feels nonplus
Touching often, feeling much
Feel the nonesuch touch
