(from MY BEDCOVER)
-----------
I love using my bedcover made in India
which has flowers and birds embroidered in variously colored threads
on simple, coarse cotton fabric.
At night when I need only to peek at a little bit of sleep
I don't have to unroll a sea of sensuous silk sheets under the lamp
so I lift the cover slightly at one edge
and let my body slide under it.
When I pull it, together with the bedding, up to my cheeks and close my eyes,
I reach a very peaceful state of mind.
It must be because I feel, gently placed on my chest,
the hands of an Indian lady that carefully moved a needle
using hand-woven woolen threads, each hand-dyed,
the hands of a woman who must have accepted silently, for many years,
so many sorrows.
