the temple cart

Kerrin P. Sharpe

he had an idea
about carts

as a child
he sucked their wheels
and was restless

at work he pushed
a little hock cart
over fields
surprised cows

waved to farmers
his smock driven snow

his cart hid the jews
they never forgot
these days

he lives at the temple
his cart supports
the tabernacle
together they repair curtains
