The Crib
To the leftovers of war
in slums of Brooklyn born
my crib – a shell without legs
among garbage cans and rats
he took it back to the one
room for five behind the tiny
grocery on grease grimy streets
she scrubbed until it shined
and readied up the bed for
my small body brought here
near death in kidney pain
they asked him who to save
she was so sick – her or me
he had two babies at home stolen
from the grave by what seemed days
save my wife – said he
but we both came home
a Chicago surgeon’s mitzvah
before his heartland return
she placed me to sleep
in the dump-found crib
agleam in sunshine alight
four milk crates of wood
he’d set down to hold me
