Laced

Lace is mostly holes,
artfully arranged,
like family history.
Blank spaces are
connected by stories
they told, we tell.
History keeps us apart,
holds us together.
History is lace.
Lace is mostly holes

    What a wonderful and original angle on lace! And so very true. History as lace!! I like this very much.

    Beautiful, Victoria, I shall never look at lace in quite the same way, thanks to you.

    This is so powerful, Victoria. "History keeps us together, keeps us apart" is the light bulb for me. Thanks.
