She works inside a house (not a factory); domestic figure. Problem is that she"s working at home. Women who could not afford to support themselves with just sewing would often turn to prostitution. Sewing groups were often run by a pimp/madam who would trick more girls into joining the sex trade. Often worked at night in the dark with black thread and black cloth (often refashioned clothes for mourning) Stitch-stitch-stitch : trimeter beat; only hard beats; works with imperative idea of machine just stitching. Work-work-work : the dash is emphasis for the repetition; visual structure (looks like stitches); trapped between work. Band, and gusset, and seam : circular, like the work keeps on going the same way every single day. What are it"s wages?/a bed of straw: goes to dimeter; the loss of a beat; the loss of something; lacking and wanting. Indication that she wasn"t always this way: to feel as i use to feel .
