135. Cotton Boll
I need the music of my forebears from
Afrik, but take the mending to my lap
And work beside the Missusâ chair. A spell
Of quiet sewing, restful breath â it soothe
My soul, dangling by a thread that been spun
Like cotton fiber grown and pinched on this
Hell place. Before I know, Iâm rocking with
the rhythm of the stitching, humming low
The melody of âGilead.â A balm
For hunger, sorrow, heartache, yes, he is.
A healing ointment found in Gilead on the eastern shore of the Jordan River was so
curative that it was equal in worth to salt, a precious commodity in ancient times âŚ
