They’re widows,
old and gray, bent over
a quilting frame, sewing
to meet a deadline
for the next raffle
talking and sewing in
grand memories
of husbands
dead for years
remembered daily
missed deeply
loved forever by
six quilters, all
cheerleaders waiting
to leap when their men
walk through the door.
