I could be lying in my bed sleeping

It is dark now
Silent

As I picked up those tiny little shoes

The thread of different colors
And weights
And textures
Slip through her fingers
She catches at them
Deftly twisting, tucking.
The slam of the shuttle
Punctuates the completion of each row . . . more
