Homewood


 Homewood

john clare


Father, what shall we call

The old Towles house

Shall we name it Gavin

For the slave who built 

It of the heart pine

Shall we name it Camellia 

For the wedding gift

Bushes by the steps

Shall we name it Lucille

For the blind matron

Whose cane etched her

Path down the dog  trot

Shall we name it Ethel Marie

For a mother who died

Too soon in August

We shall name it for all

These things

We shall call it 

Homewood.
