  Quilts

  by Nikki Giovanni

  (for Sally Sellers)

  Like a fading piece of cloth

  I am a failure

  No longer do I cover tables filled with food and laughter

  My seams are frayed my hems falling my strength no longer able

  To hold the hot and cold

  I wish for those first days

  When just woven I could keep water

  From seeping through

  Repelled stains with the tightness of my weave

  Dazzled the sunlight with my Reflection

  I grow old though pleased with my memories

  The tasks I can no longer complete

  Are balanced by the love of the tasks gone past

  I offer no apology only this plea:

  When I am frayed and strained and drizzle at the end

  Please someone cut a square and put me in a quilt

  That I might keep some child warm

  And some old person with no one else to talk to

  Will hear my whispers And cuddle near
