my grandmother taught me macramé and origami
how to conjure belief from scraps

I can build paper cranes
but you cannot fly on folded wings
I can construct paper stars
but they will not hold the sky

I will braid your fraying strings
into symbolic Celtic knots
If you promise not to chew the ends
I'm going to start posting things even if they're unfinished because I always get the best advice here on how to fix it. Thank you :heart:

Beautiful! :heart:

I think the lack of punctuation gives a certain frankness to this piece - don't put any in! Everything about this one is perfect. :heart:
