as i prepare for oz
i'm working
weaving and spinning and drawing.
i finished up
a soft book
rooted in a gift of cloth
shop cloth
mechanic's clean-up cloth.
(i am the final,
fifth daughter
of a seamstress and a mechanic.)
and kami-ito spun from lokta
sandra brownlee's gift
became a small book
full of many stitches.
and touch.
