RITES Part III: The Luminous Thread
READY TO SHIP (limited quantity)
In the depths of shadow your path lies invisible
subducted beneath layers of fog
instead you walk in fragments:
tea leaf dregs, a stone, something gold
In the land of wordless pause
you begin pawing along for a cord
tracing textures, intricate forms
in the depths of shadow you build a rope
glowing and intricate
something to hold onto
weaving a rope back together,
you pick and scrape together bits of thread until
a whole cord locks into spiral,
reminds you who you are

Suitable for dancing, napping, acrobatics, or ritual use. Constructed by hand with care and purpose: made to last. Crotch is lined with cotton and heavyweight cotton-lycra cloth is opaque and lovely.
