Lament for the Makers
, , -->
Not bird not badger not beaver not bee
Many creatures must make, but only one must seek
within itself what to make
My father's ring was a B with a dart through it, in diamonds against polished black stone.
I have it. What parents leave youis their lives.
Until my mother died she struggled to make a house that she did not loathe; paintings; poems; me.
Many creatures must
make, but only one must seekwithin itself what to make
Not bird not badger not beaver not bee
•
Teach me, masters who by making wereremade, your art.
