They sat around the bar,
saying: “I liked being married”
“Except for the part about
having my husband”
They sat around the bar,
as their eyes stalked the room
Sniffing for money
—the price of revenge

At The Gate
The writing came early,
the reading came late
The knot hanging loosely
—untied at the gate
