Sally’s Song

There are things I wish to say,
but each time I try,
I end up with needle and thread
coalescing in my hand.
They levitate together in cohesion,
skillfully weaving to lace my mouth,
stitching my lips to stay quiet.
I smile and nod
with an embroidery of restraint,
leaving me voiceless,
squelched by hushed whispers
of Sally’s song.
