Dark green moss floss
Pulled tight on a tapestry
A textile painting of a forest
Taking me out of the modern world
A way to repair my brain
This hobby soothes my soul
Away from the electric screens
Pushing around icons for payment
Binging serial fiction for distraction
The sound of needle and thread
A stab, a slide, and a pop
As I pull the thread taught
I’m a lady idle in her craft
Self care coming in the form of art.
