Needlewoman Poem by nimal dunuhinga

Needlewoman

Rating: 5.0


I see the fading light of my neighboring Seamstress's room.
The poor widow does embroidery of the mysterious life pattern.
I too have some darn work of my patchy clothes
And I want to borrow a needle and a thread from you.
Is it too late if I knock at your door in the midnight?
And I am sure the evildoers definitely chatter a gossip
When a bachelor meets a widow.


* I dedicate this poem to all the widows of this oblique world.
