Inspired by 'The Artist and the Hierarchy' (p. 150)

"Scarf on the Spanish Steps" by Michelle Hatch Rome (June 2010)









The Pulling Thread

The hierarchy
not reality

for no one knows who pulls the first string
and where unravelling creates the hole

No one knows, the power, the force
of one, of you, of me
but it will run with the unravelling string
and it will run its course

Its course will go where you couldn't see
until the lesson is learned
and you're being who you've always meant to be.
