dropped stitches

for #2 son

I knit those cells together
out of oatmeal
folic acid
tofu
fried eggs

I counted
calories
grams
micrograms

so please son
when you fall
while rollerblading
try not to leave
too much behind
on the pavement

love

Mom

Plath flashed through my mind for some odd reason.

I really liked that one. Puts a material reason behind a mother's concern. Cute. As if you would care about a delicate package. A unique image... taste from this one.

Good stuff.
