Penelope must have felt this way. Weaving in the morning, unweaving at night. This threadwork of colors forming, unforming rolling, unrolling running stitches, leaving holes, loose, loose tiny holes. I begin our story, stop midway. Wasting ink. Wasting paper. Killing trees. Hanging my right hand in the air. Creaking the door is. Only it is the wind. Holding out until your homecoming.

Being Penelope
Penelope must have felt this way. Weaving in the morning, unweaving at night. This threadwork of colors forming, unforming rolling, unrolling running stitches, leaving holes, loose, loose tiny holes. I begin our story, stop midway. Wasting ink. Wasting paper. Killing trees. Hanging my right hand in the air. Creaking the door is. Only it is the wind. Holding out until your homecoming.
