A slave's Freedom Quilt, --hand-pulled stitchery, a rare tale relinquished;
Victorian silver hair pins with filigreed flowers, delicate as unconscious.
A collector of ancients
quite proud of your tastes but scornful of
curled brown leaves
slight gray webs
parched desert soil
of a woman turned and tuned to her ripening,
Whose life is as dear as a signed first edition;
Whose death as costly as a polished oak bed.
