“When my father speaks I hear him sing this song to his children”


If I can be a woven bed for you
made of a firm string that
can withstand cold and heat
frost and fire
Imagine my fingers as long ropes
extended from tree to tree
but they would give enough
to be right enough to sleep in
to be held by; sure, made.

I would hold my hands like this for you
for as long as you wanted me to

I have the strongest hands in the world.
