portrait of sadness?
she----motionless in wheelchair
beside pew
white hair matches
white sweater draped over
shoulders
brows furrowed in attempt to
understand English words
he-----also with white head ---sitting
in pew beside her
eyes shine with tradition
stoic eyes
mind wandering past and present
no --- joy
for their hands
------old and spotted
------showing pain toil and
tenderness of younger years are
joined in love and trust
1983
