[Prompt #5: Look what I made! I just finished knitting a cardigan! I'm very proud of it. Pictures attached!]
Look what I made
this thing I created with my hands
thousands of stitches
and thousands of rows
twisted together to cover me.
Half yellow and half purple,
a line down the back separating the two halves
but a friendly line, like the handoff at a relay race
not an angry one, like a great Wall.
my face lights up when i can say
"Oh, I made this!"
and i blush like a kool-aid packet ripped open over water,
diffuse and ever-reaching
unused to being the recipient of such attention.
six buttons inch up from hips to waist
six, my favorite number,
the golden dots wrapping the two halves together
around me
this hug that i made
myself
