Blanket by Yuxing Xia
Tender and intimate this piece recalls the layered history of a century-old blanket. Bearing both scars and stains the fabric becomes a vessel for memory: a shield in childhood games a comfort in cold nights and a thread carrying the grandmother's calm voice across generations. The poem is a quiet elegy to resilience warmth and the echoes of love that endure through time.
