The spoon is made of birch. It’s not quite done. It’s the
first spoon I’ve made. Tools used: A small sharp blade and a small curved
blade, and curls of wood drop to the floor of the porch in the place where I am
right now which is not home. A spoon scoops and moves, stirs the soups and
stews. Just gentle. The act of making it, despite the small sharp blades, has
felt like the gentlest sort of action. Today it rains and the bowl of the spoon
overflows with all sorts of longing.
