Aimee Lee: "This knitted book is a place for a heart to be held.”
On the wall is a scroll
that I can’t read.
heart  water
woman  mouth
were the words that a
friend deciphered
then she revealed a proverb:
The heart is like water,  
         very pure
Even if it’s hard, in life
you can keep strong—
like water
My heart loves the poetry
My mucous membranes
are slower to absorb it,
unlike water.
I was the teacher, the scroll
from a student.
