of scissors around
the house.
scissors seemed to be important
in her world.
one for knitting,
for snipping threads,
for cutting tags off
new clothes, a frayed
sleeve or pant leg
on something old.
one for the kitchen,
a multi-purpose pair
in the drawer,
one for the kids to cut
construction paper,
a pair for
cutting hair.
a small set in her purse.
an old pair
she couldn't bear
to let go of,
a story behind it that
you would never hear.
