53. Cotton Boll
I need the music of my forebears from
Afrik, but take the mending to my lap
And work beside the Missus’ chair. A spell
Of quiet sewing, restful breath – it soothe
My soul, dangling by a thread that been spun

the rhythm of the stitching, humming low
The melody of “Gilead.” A balm
For hunger, sorrow, heartache, yes, he is.

curative that it was equal in worth to salt, a precious commodity in ancient times …
