By the Little River -- Fanny Howe
Home is the water
I call home
blood thicker than brick
the river red with it
and walls supported
by spirits
When the marches and marriages
ended and days in jail
the way was work
In late night hours
work on the soul is the way
. . . but a third way
holds the second and the first
holds the third and all are called dark
when there is no work
