THE BLOCK OF EARTH AND THE TOO PERFECTLY MADE CRADLE
A canvas covered in earth
Hangs on the wall
Between the ancient mači
(acorn pounding basket)
And the heirloom cradle
Called a sika
It is mesmerizing like a tree
Growing out of the corner
Couch piece would be
Perhaps like
The dreams
Of a small child
In a too perfectly made cradle
That sleeps so long
The family must
Gather around
To wake her up
Hangs on the wall
Between the ancient mači
(acorn pounding basket)
And the heirloom cradle
Called a sika
It is mesmerizing like a tree
Growing out of the corner
Couch piece would be
Perhaps like
The dreams
Of a small child
In a too perfectly made cradle
That sleeps so long
The family must
Gather around
To wake her up
