We, A Master Weaver

We, A Master Weaver

A Poem by Power Knows the Truth Already

How did it take a 
lockdown of all out bodies
to know we're not whole

when we are alone. 
We become whole together, 
threads pulled from ourselves

and woven as one. 
Some thread being more fussy
and stiff, hard to weave. 

And I'm no master
at weaving things by myself. 
Others, they know more. 

In a room with all, 
we could weave more threads as one. 
Leaving outliers

as strings left undone. 
Such is their own becoming
for undoing us.

Author's Note

Power Knows the Truth Already
No idea how to actually write haiku, but the form gave me some good direction. Thinking about a lot of things during this lockdown.
