Lineage

Judith Ann Levison

I would not have told you
If you were going to shudder
Look wounded again at the name given you

A lineage gives you a box of relics
Old eyeglasses, ribbons, a piece of silk
And whirling voices all trying to speak

In drenching rain their tears let you know
Your sorrows were like theirs
In every pattern of a rainbow’s floating veins
They said someone had your soft grey eyes

Or even was your twin, sailing in a boat
Her garden hat trailing in the water
Disliking all her eligible men
Wearing a tarnished bracelet
Glinting your names in the sun
Hoping you too found no one
