Poetry

 

Braided, spun, coiled in ritual

Silk, Yucca, Willow, Wool

Strand by strand

Earth-stained fingers and fibers bind

Pattern, art, story, function

Strand by strand

Vessels to carry and celebrate

Swaddled newborns, elders’ tales

Strand by strand

Shouts, tears, and laughter snagged

Woven moments

Strand by strand
