Crystal Wilkinson, “Witness”

I’m convinced that if you could / have seen my grandmother / standing in the doorway / waiting for him to come home from the fields, / if you’d smelled that spectacular evening thick / with sweat & felt the pulsing of the stars, if / you’d borne witness / to the animals’ moans echoing in the holler / that night, if you just could have seen the / hair rise up / on granddaddy’s arm like that, like / offerings to god, when his elbow touched / hers, if you could have seen / her longing dissipate just a little as he came / through the door smelling like a day’s work, you / should have seen them close enough to breathe / the same air while not even touching. / (He smiled at her without smiling.) If you could / have seen them watching me watch them, then / you’d know how much i love you. If you could / have heard her say, You want some supper? / We got pie.
