question


she asked a question
that was met with complete silence
speechlessness

it was a question
that begins to unravel
backwards
leaving spaciousness
for knitting up forward again

before the question
the garment fit comfortably
after
it is outdated
misshapen

of good service
until the question
still hanging
in the stillness
plucked at
one loosened thread
