Resettlement

visited logies planning their resettlement
sugar workers living in unfit conditions
visit this older lady in her little shack
yes shack but she keeps it well and neat
small room and a smaller kitchen space
pillow breasts thick hair mostly grey in black
calm-eyed unagitated she smiled a lot
sorry one sweet drink to offer two of us
widowed her husband had been very good
she had a small allotment for her use elsewhere
mostly herbs she used and sold and gave away
a few chickens in a pen next door
people kind they helped she could manage life
but what we listed went beyond requirements
minded little children for people doing work
she hugged a few who now scampered around us
people said she intervened in quarrels when requested
she had a hundred remedies good reasoning as well
auntie Deygoo distress nobody she always find a way
so - she makes provision for herself
- she is happy with her lot in life
- she binds wounds and has solutions
- neighbours respect her far and wide-
she gathers little children kindly round her
put this case aside - how does one resettle love?
