To my friends
„Humans have no fur so they need friends“
My web of friends
woven into my life
the fabric it brings
of mulberry silk strings
knitted into a protective cloth
- A Kevlar vest for tough times.
Making me, molding me
always protecting me
Creating a beautifully patterned fabric
Vane velvet mixed with earthy hemp
Sexy spandex for acrylic afternoons.
Woolsock-warm, the cosy people.
Daily wear cotton
soft and durable, the kind that takes any tear
those are my closest friends, very dear
the ones I can stain with my pain.
You all mean something to me
and you defeat humankind’s strongest fear,
- which is indifference
by giving my life’s fabric its unique
consistence
with a delicate braiding of lace -
to remind of the preciousness of life and space.
No harsh tags or itchy labels à la H&M
my friend’s fabric has no beginning or an end
Thank you, for being my friend!
