Do you remember undressing me The first time How easily I fell apart Straps and ties and clips and Velcro.
Do you remember the feeling against your skin As I untangled And curled and wound Onto your bedroom floor.

Do you remember how disappointed you were When the fabric broke and I spilled out A ball of wool Rolling across your room.
Do you remember what you said As you tried to pick me up As I slipped through your fingers Thread by loosened thread.
Do you remember putting me back together Knotting silk and cotton Looping strings and ribbons Never asking if you were doing it right.
Do you remember me walking away My hem falling A care label at my neck Keep away from fire.
