\nI am torn whether to destroy it,
\nor to pass the gift on whole –
\nthat darn dilemma of taking or giving.<\/p>\n
\nAt the time I could not give,
\nI had nothing. Not even a button.
\nNot a sou, not a shekel, not a shilling.<\/p>\n
\nfor the cloth I have damaged.
\nSee me make amends, squinting,
\npuncturing the fabric from the inside out.<\/p>\n
