There is space
in my born family of origin

Entitlement overshadows
the importance of generational heirlooms
knitted in one long thread
are stories
so old if shared we could use them as a knitting tool
to count back to generations
forgotten

To nail something down

I would not be able
to see or know
otherwise

In my family
there are no sunflowers
no pavement markings
just the presence of well drained soils
