The Heart’s Tome

On By Jasmine on the GraveIn Grave

I thread my beads
with consistent spacing.
I pull the line through,
stringing ornaments along it
with focus and intention.

I spool around and around,
creating from memory
a lifeline between You and I.

My devotion—
rounded orbs filled with light,
strong as stone,
ancient as wisdom—
a physical tome
my heart can travel
inside and outside.
