Ravel

A thread of me is coming loose
Course and strong like the hanging knot
Blue and silver curling free
Fraying some portion of me
I keep mashing down.
A thread of me is coming loose.
Is it breaking or attaching?
Quick! Come closer!
I'm sure it's not catching!
A thread of me is coming loose.
Pull it!
Pull it!
