Suppressed Linen (megs challenge)

framed on my wall hangs
a linen cloth garden
colors stitched by fingers
of steel and silk
a woman of my past
gone but today here
great great grandmother
safely I honor you
in this special place
to remind me of
who I am and
where I can go
with strings and blood
that are strength
that binds me
on a spotless cloth
I see the blood of tears
suppressed of who you
could have been if freed
a southern past held back
by manners and what is
in a world of difference
