We tie the knots. We clip the wool with a knife shaped like a new moon. The shaggy knots are sheared until the rug is smooth. It will take us many months to make our rug. When it is finished I will part with an old friend. The pattern I have woven in my head and in my heart is my own to keep.

At the end of the day my back aches. Like the backs of my mother and my grandmother, one day my own back will wilt and bend like a plucked flower. My fingers stumble as they tie the knots. The pattern I weave in my head is gone.

I am waiting for the owl. At last I hear his call. The call tells us we are finished with the loom.
