This stone from the accuset’s hand ~ This tock where He lay His head Rocks for houses, walls or paths Stones from fields whete the sheep were fed. Liken me inanimate —* Flesh long replaced by minetals City of cells now tutned to stone blanched petrified and lifeless bones.

Where tomorrow? ’ 4 Diana L. Jurss Cared Kor Like an heirloom rocker put aside with promise to repair its legs sometimes you don’t dare try walking. Sitting long empty hours years repeated like a novel many times read memorized What do you think | _. -quietly? q Idle hands as agile as they were 2 in winter months at quilting frames but eyes that never missed a sewing sin not keen enough for knitting. Three generations weekly distant waiting for convenient holidays others less fortunate. > You wear lace-edged housecoats; eat well enough. Paid professionals clean your dirt and you sleep warm. They all love you. You know they do. : They say they do. Those times you see them. Gene Lominac shhh -
