HOLES
The wall clock is round, but, the holes in the lacy table centerpiece were hooked in, with the art of crochet; my grandma taught me about chains and trebles; she slipped through the hole of existence, gone to the other side, quite a long time ago and I'm still looping these tiny bits of nuances together, lacing her memory into beautiful reminders.

    Your poem reminded me of my gran and her knitting and crocheting, Gillena! That's a lovely memory to take to bed with me tonight. :)

    Once taught certain skills passion will see it through. Good that the tradition is sustained, Gillena!
