trous·seau
clothes, household linen, furnishings, and other belongings 
collected by a bride 
for her marriage

trous·seau 
home away from home 
taken to the unknown 
to serve 
until death

trous·seau
embroideries and handworks
too soft to know
the pains of sorrows 
stitched slender
into bones

trous·seau
all that is left of me
all that will become of me
after this life-giving body
falls to pieces

(trous·seau
a piece
of mother)
