Long Woolen Bound Skarf

There once was a small fabric length of such beauty
though compared to its brethren, it was small
“too small”, it was told by others, “to become something”
yet, of heart and thought it was with credence

ipso facto this fabric rose
bound its ends in cloth
and wrapped itself around the neck of people
gently suffocating them till the soft warmth took their untimely last breath

thus marked the mid half of 2003
this skarf of rebellion and dissidence inspired a new generation of guerrilla throat protection
and over the years many skarves in its image have been made
from silks through to wools and velvets, in a kaleidoscope of colours and lengths

though it was a wintry afternoon in the black depths of Icelandic winter 2006
that saw the renaissance, and new form of the skarf
from a reflection on the long black days of the years end
it was reborn, a renaissance for the ice hard snow fields of Reykjavik proper

septembers child is
a non-product in two parts
for your inconvenience

Its new form, over three metres long,
