A good story is woven From finest ingredients Maidenhair fern ribs Lichen dyed beargrass Cedar bark, cedar root Spruce root, cattail leaves Sour grass and straw grass And tule, woven tight So tight you can boil water And cook a tangled plot So intricate, intimate And lovingly patterned Seemingly simply but Specifically complex The narrative is and Is not predictable But still inevitable
