Suddenly my dear son is able to send
so much money
but is he free?
They’ve moved him to Guanajay where he sews
for the bride of his master
They say God has given my son a strange gift
not of verse but of hands
the ability to stitch silken cloth
and to heal
wounded flesh
Suddenly he is famous
for curing
the ill
Counts and Countesses
Dukes and Duchesses
everyone sends for him
whenever pain and fear
are suffered
