This is not new

pic of Ann Baker's work in progress


This is not new:
this compendium of colour,
this bright offering of differences,
this matt and sparkle,
this crochet and knit,
this wool and gem.
This is not new.

This is not new.
In the secrecy of a womb
this knitting is collated,
life, patterned and unpatterned
slowly generating
dna spiralling.
This is not new.

This is not new.
This is family:
straddling generations,
experiences, expectations.

This is not new.
This is community:
spanning culture
colour, belief.

This is not new.
This is world:
interwoven
dissimilar
but not
disparate.
