tap tap

the switch and click
clack
of metal on metal
the rocking back and forth of fee int a rocking chair
over over again the same sweet pattern
singing it sweet little song

soothing with the sweet touch of fiber,
running through the fingers.

click clack again and again

another row another row

the creation grows and grows in length

and soon it will be finished.

what it will it be?

a baby hat?

an afghan?

shawl?

whats to say

tap tap the needles go another round more to go.

The tradition spreads on, with row upon row, round upon round.

as each fiber finds it end up a wooden frame of a wooden stick.
