After spending two weeks looking at Microfilm

How much of this mat,
Whose strands I am trying to open,
And whose pattern I am trying to understand,
Is actually a carpet,
Laid down on top of a rug,
Brought from a far off land.
Using threads taken from a seamless robe,
Gambled for by soldiers,
As a Son bled and died above
