i have your pincushion.
.
you put each of these pins in. your hands, your fingers.
the random ones, the silver heads in a little pattern,
the bent one at the bottom.
you trapped a hook underneath one.

what were you thinking when you pressed each one in?
what were you creating?
.
i'm afraid to move them.

Really powerful. Interior designer you may be, but you have a gift with words too.
