GETTINGS, MY GETTINGS
Ode to my Birth-Mother
Esther Mae Gettings – Oakes.
By Lee Broom from The Line.
These Gettings now gotten
Ungotten, what for?
Seem, now that they’re gotten
Substantially more.
Behold these begettings
These Gettings of mine
Remember how hidden
These Gettings, so fine,
Ungotten these Gettings
Unlovely, unreal
Now, soft as new cotton
Stroke
Breathe
Feel.
My Gettings.
