It is not a miracle that Mei Yao Chen's wife
Found a way home from the afterworld;
The rooftops are crowded at night
With ghosts who've done the same.
Nor is it that her spirit could hold a needle
And thread it. The wonder is that dying
Had not changed her sewing. "No one else, "
Thought Chen, "could put on a patch
So crookedly, with such uneven stitches."
