10. “Womanhood,” Catherine
Anderson
She slides over When she enters,
the hot upholstery and the millgate closes,
of her mother's car, final as a slap,
this schoolgirl of fifteen there'll be silence.
who loves humming & swaying She'll see fifteen high windows
with the radio. cemented over to cut out light.
Her entry into womanhood Inside, a constant, deafening noise
will be like all the other girls'— and warm air smelling of oil,
a cigarette and a joke, the shifts continuing on ...
as she strides up with the rest All day she'll guide cloth along a line
to a brick factory of whirring needles, her arms &
where she'll sew rag rugs shoulders
from textile strips of kelly green, rocking back & forth
bright red, aqua. with the machines—
200 porch size rugs behind her
before she can stop
to reach up, like her mother,
and pick the lint
out of her hair.
