bowed
raze
he
sweeps
the
hand
saw
across
a
plywood
plank
no
longer
than
the
limb
that
holds
it
,
eyes
cast
down
,
his
face
the
melancholy
mask
of
a
mother
rocking
a
child
that
will
not
slide
into
sleep
,
and
the
sound
he
coaxes
from
this
instrument
bereft
of
strings
is
the
music
a
heart
makes
when
sickness
slows
its
swing
but
cannot
rob
it
of
its
rhythm
.
