I've no grandfather
Nor closet with which to hide
The sweaters are for sale
And weaving is in the knot
I'll not bind having and we
Least below no family tree
I callous my hands upon missing wood
Grip too fierce for healing as I brood
Yet in another's timber I rain
Perishing atop no gardens
All together same
Buildings beckon for me to wonder
While rivets offer bedding
Sending me a shiver
Perhaps days will trade
Unending night will flower
Casting me in fret filled prayers
Haunting recent numbers
The trades on few
Rarely break to notice
Halting fewer hands
Letting memory remember
The digs are long
And handling further still
Upon our roads adventured
No work for fill
Empty well in quill
