Leaf Hut

Leaf Hut

Woven and tied.

My basket house is beautiful.

A special leaf collected,

folded and sewn,

tied over a particular timber,

and then tied over the limbs of mangroves.

Strong.

A conglomeration of sweat, co-operation, song, and thousands of years of knowledge.

Even more wonderful when dry inside and lulled by the sound of rain.
