To My Lazy Weaver

    You started me

I feel like a string that has been involuntarily entangled

In the patternless fabric of your memories

Engulfing me

You are that lazy weaver,

Who started a graceful work, but died on me.

Left unfinished shaping me.

    You only knew what you started.

I feel uncared, incomplete, useless, artless.

I tried to build myself

From the leftover work of yours

Tried to mend the broken child in me

From the stage where you abandoned

And took up death as your eternal project.

   I am unfinished, semi manufactured.

Waiting for you to comeback

From the unseen worlds.

To teach me

Teach me how to face this (mean) world.

Teach me how to survive the dark-hearted demons.

Teach me how to be brave.

Teach me how to smile again.

    You started weaving with the finest silk

With the brightest colors

And You left your job and went away to a never returning place

    Unskilled and uncertain, I took up the task

Of weaving myself.

From whatever I can get hold of.

There are lots of missing treads, unfitting patterns, uneven textures in me.

I get confused, weak, worried, and overwhelmed.

But I pause

I Unknit, untangle

Breathe

And I work drawing inspiration from what have you started

And I try again.

How can I ever give up on the abrash creation of yours?

I will never.
