Weaving

Weaving


You have to be ready to touch it all,

to slide your fingers between the warps,

pushing down the weft.

You must kneel, squat, reach

as it demands.


Leave wool alone on the loom

for three days

and it draws evil spirits.

You must love it every moment,

even when you are sick to death of it.

And touch it, even in the places that cut.
