when you need more than plain,
more than the grid of over one, under one,
you play.
sometimes
serious play.
my dear friend pat bramhall
weaving a basket
in silver
sometimes your weave becomes a map
and you search
stitch
excavate
deep and shallow
a mole's travels
or a trail
further evidence of the ermine
and a stone
split by weather
more paths
tracks
mapping
and weaving
grid of living here and now
mud season
it's here.
