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.
