Title: Reciprocities
for my mother
Summary: The speaker reflects on how he used to help his mother during her knitting sessions. He thinks
about how his mother would make him hold the skeins of wool so she could roll it into a ball.
He compares his writing to his mother's knitting. His mother benefitted from him just like he benefitted from
his mother’s experience, commitment, talks and skill.

Analysis:
Stanza 1:
His mother would give him skeins to hold up like a priest at mass. He receives instructions not to fidget.
She would check his concentration by pulling the strands harder. When he loses concentration/starts to
wander, his mother would put him at ease by talking to him.

the way a priest would during a mass.
Reason for holding out hands:

that might lead to him loosening the grip.
7 When I wandered off through Meaning: If he loses concentration and starts to wander and
images form images in his head, his mother would put him at ease by

9 She kept the line between us taut Metaphor: ‘line between us taut’:
- The connection between the mother and her son, is
compared to the line of wool between them, the mother
keeps both tight.
Use of the word line:
1. It is the string he is holding to help his mother

track when going astray.
10 She kept my heart at ease with all At ease: his mother’s gentle conversation/chatting keeps him
