caring through change

 it seems that caring

is good work

something to continue

to do

as worlds change

 in fall we gather

together thinking collecting

for the big change coming

i count on farmers to grow food

i gather at the market

~

my indigo dries in the garage

i am counting on color 

to fortify this winter

~

and the caring i found

through this strange interspace

~

you friends over there in the other world 

are in spring

while we are shedding the excess

green

waiting for snow

~

keeps me connected

~

i wove last night

after winding balls of lokta

from a skein

 stayed up late weaving

a video anchored me

my fingers dancing

over the warp

lokta shifu square

four selvedges 

spun dry

needle woven

on the stump

~
i was a little part of this
which makes me happy
