Woven

Anna turns away, then reaches down to pick up my knapsack for me. "I like this. All the colors."


I take it and slip it over my shoulder. "I saw old women weaving them, when I was in South America. It takes twenty spools of thread to make this pattern." 


"Truth's like that", she says, or it's what I think she says, but by then she has left the room.
