letra de an ancient gesture - sheila silver
i thought, as i wiped my eyes on the corner of my apr-n:
penelope did this too
and more than once: you can’t keep weaving all day
and undoing it all through the night;
your arms get tired, and the back of your neck gets tight;
and along towards morning, when you think it will never be light
and your husband has been gone, and you don’t know where, for years
suddenly you burst into tears;
there is simply nothing else to do
and i thought, as i wiped my eyes on the corner of my apr-n:
this is an ancient gesture, authentic, antique
in the vеry best tradition, classic, greek;
ulysses did this too
but only as a gesturе,—a gesture which implied
to the assembled throng that he was much too moved to speak
he learned it from penelope…
penelope, who really cried
