New-mown hay smell and wind of the plain made hera woman whose ribs had the power of the hills inthem and her hands were tough for work and therewas passion for life in her womb.
She and her man crossed the ocean and the years thatmarked their faces saw them haggling with landlordsand grocers while six children played on the stonesand prowled in the garbage cans.
One child coughed its lungs away, two more have adenoidsand can neither talk nor run like their mother,one is in jail, two have jobs in a box factory
And as they fold the pasteboard, they wonder what thewishing is and the wistful glory in them that fluttersfaintly when the glimmer of spring comes onthe air or the green of summer turns brown:
They do not know it is the new-mown hay smell callingand the wind of the plain praying for them to comeback and take hold of life again with tough handsand with passion.
