I have to analyse a poem for school and I have no IDEA what it means by:
(It's about an old peoples home basically)
Grey widows whose beds and meals are made,
husbands tidied with the emptied cupboards,
live in mortgaged time
disguising inconsequence
with shavings of surface talk, letters
to nieces, stitches dropped in the quick-knit jacket,
picked up for makeweight meaning.
Thanks in advance
