Spindle - Weave
One spindle - two different weaves
You were woven for laughter and pleasure
For fancy parties and teas
For hands that were bathed in scented lotions
To be held while being helped into horse drawn carriages
To be kissed at the eve’s end and escorted to copper doors
To rest in a box filled with tissue paper and scents of lavender
Crisp white gloves, starched and pressed
One spindle, two different weaves
Tattered and worn
No lavender scents for me
No nice soft tissue paper for me to rest on
No kind hand will reach for these frayed gloves -
With missing finger tips
Mingled with the scent of blood and sweat
My color has faded, what use to be bright is now dark
There will be no remembrance of me
I will not be passed down from daughter -
to granddaughter
When night falls my resting place will be
~UNKNOWN~
One spindle - two different weaves
