Two of Wands (Reversed)

Yarn
by Kassie Shanafelt

The two of us were knitting
three generations apart.
When she taught me how to cast on and off,
we weaved our spirits together a little bit more.
I took the parts she left
and made them into my own dreams.
I thought I was my own person,
but I didn’t realize I was just picking up
where she left off.
