Aga & Jadwiga

AGA & JADWIGA a hand knitted poem

TIMEPIECE CARDIGAN

sister you will not turn to me for I dwell in forests and you dwell at sea

you will not take my trembling hand for you love the moss and I love the sand

sister you will not hush my cry for I left our home without a goodbye

I journeyed far to never return you stayed to show how well you could mourn

how tidy a garden you could keep the prettier in it to sit and weep

when comes my turn a tear to shed

for I have no garden only regret

I only have secrets I only have scars I only have lonesomest sky and stars

sister you know what I say is true for you took my man and my women too

I gave you stayed you took I went now we rejoin but years are spent

how much remains and is it enough for you to forgive that the sea was rough for me to forgive that the ground was dense

we try as we rest on this bench by the fence
