attic · paper, never flown
brown paper, four bows on a tail, two crossed spars. the line is still wound. there is, at the corner, a small handwritten label with a name on it and the year the kite was made.
the year is not last year. the kite has been on this rafter through more weather than it has ever met. for a thing intended to refuse the ground, it has done very well at the rest of it.
field-note: the bows have not been re-tied. small, original knots.
