KNOTTY

I am all knotty
Like a tangled thread
From a skein of yarn
Twisted and pulled through
By life’s mischievous kittens.

I am all knotty,
And as I follow each string
Through to tortured origins,
More nodes are created
By my clumsy mittens.

I am all knotty,
And I search through
Loops and overlaps
For correlaties vs. causalities,
Vainly for the root to free.

I am all knotty,
But I don’t need to extend
My search through into you,
So as to obscure
The mere knot of me.
