The Good Wife

THE   GOOD    WIFE



So many bare, ring-hollow spaces  sent chill feels;
These gaping  holes  in fabric torn  are sewn  new,  sealed.
Some, any, bearing hollows, pace essential  fields:
This dusty desert cold  is sown now  and will yield.


Knowing  nothing so long,
Her fertile smile,  her redressing stitch,
Saves my everything  in time.
