Artist Spotlight: Knot

In the Artwork Spotlight series of blog posts, the Layered Onion highlights a specific work by an artist in the community. These works could range from short stories to visual art to music and more!

Today, Em Hendricks is sharing her poem “Knot.”

Knot

 What is a knot

But a spot that stands

Out. Apart.

 

It can be in your back,

On your neck, in your stomach

 

It can govern you,

Own you, Envelop you

 

Until you are a swirl of feeling,

A canvas stretched thin,

Laying on the ground.
