(NaPoWriMo) No. 23 i am knitting a yellow thing

i am knitting a yellow thing

and it burns my hands
it’s so radiant.

i must wear sunglasses knitting
the yellow thing.

yellow bounces on my lap
like a frisky puppy,
requiring discipline.

i give it love, a chamber
in my heart

and yellow nuzzles my neck
then moves around the room
like a restless

princess

yellow wants to rise
from my heart
like a yeasty thing

and explode
into a thousand particles

traversing air
at incredible speeds

yellow wants to just be golden
to be light
again.
