my holiday angst
in check.
made with
dead leaf cordage
(iris, daylily, cornhusk)
and coffee filter yarn
hand spun coffee filter experiment.
soaking wet,
and binding falling apart,
with a lopsided eggbeater drill,
and a couple of needles,
with enormous enjoyment
(extra powerful since it is once again sturdy)--
and with particular joy
because Kate's first chapter
is on mending....
intended to hold gifts
(you know -- roll it around
and open the present
that falls out the hole...)
to fit through any doors in my house

makes a fine blind
the rare and non-migratory
ten foot pink flamingo.
Might as well
let the good times roll on
(even when the gifts inside
are invisible).
