Noted

By Rudra Pagar

Knots are probably the most mastered human skill. from macrame baskets to modern surgery

hafted on stones, sinew and bones

adorned on fingers

sashayed on ankles

ubiquitous

musical notes

of labour, life and love.

Would you then prefer

your strings breaking or

withering

or

tieing them back up with

better mastery

at work since

before recorded history?

Clothing, cordages for home,

fishnets and funerals.

Do you not know

to not not knot knot?

do note to knot

not a donut

everything knots,

circle does not

unless you really

know to knot.

every knot is a rhyme,

a butterfly effect

in infancy.
