Ravel
Ravel ravel
Unravel the knit
Pull out the weave
A long yarn lay split
Long time woven
With time and days
Experiences, family
Growing, dances, plays
Santa, college, graduation
Now we’re here
This situation
Unravel years
The pile is large
Of unwoven yarn
Of years so large
Unwoven yarn
Is nothing on the floor
And where are the memories
The joy
Before
The knitting’s done
Forgot the weave
Getting ready
Ready to leave
I’m not too sad
Not too sorry
Just observing
The truth, the story
The truth behind the closed suburban walls
The truth behind the faces small
The truth behind an answer “nothing ”
Really means “a big fat something ”
Ravel ravel
Ravel up again
The life we lead
Begin to mend
