Gretchen At The Spinning Wheel Poem by Leslie Philibert

Gretchen At The Spinning Wheel



wordless at this moment
virginal in a closed room
dark as a berry

Gretchen maid of wood
webbed as an old barn
eyes drops of glass

that seek a window
empty of steps, cast
ing a look at

all that brings no favour
or slowly turns the wheel
that darkly bares

the cloth of love
forsaken, heartpace of
an empty view, stop, cut.
