Rags to Ditches
****************

In ancient times
a young man
would work
or quest'
or travel far away
and come back
with a piece of silk,
present it to the girl
he liked best
and if she�accepted it
that would become
her lovers garment

add flowers,
its her wedding dress,
cut it into pieces
it made� babies christening gowns
strips would be handed out
to the children
when they got married
shreds would be tied
to grandchildren's wrists
hair ribbons: best use
of a single piece of cloth
and if someone got hurt-
- sew them up with a few threads
finest residual whips
the birds made into nests

it may take 100 years
to use up a piece of cloth
properly
