Plural Wives Stitching County Fair Entry

The Bonnet

She wore it with pride
Owlets fell from the nest
Amish bonnet collected life she said Grace

The Lantern

Wick adjusted to conserve
Mennonite light friend to the wild turkey quill
Letter to the peach growers God Bless the harvest

The Saw Blade
 
Hand labor built the cradle from an oak whiskey barrel
Midwife delivered the baby
Twenty five years ago the man cut his teeth on Amish sugar maple

The Buggy

Four wheels imprint softer life
Religion converts heavy load
Slower ride light as a feather

The Quilt

Patchwork defending variety
Lesbian polygamy warm reception
Plural wives stitching county fair entry


Copyright Ms. Sage Sweetwater, firebrand lesbian novelist
