I was “cry baby”
To my brothers, no heart of
Stone was mine, and when
We sold my Joseph,
I couldn’t carry on. I
Would not eat, couldn’t
Work, didn’t leave my
Tent, tears soaked my garment, so
I left, so I could
Live, and walked into
The sea. I built a boat and
Caught some fish, and fed
The ones around me.
I built up a city on the coast,
And now all ships come
To me. Yet every
Night, I weep and wail, dream of
Joseph’s golden boat.
