The Optimistic Husband

Cooper

She shrivels and wilts

at the thought of my touch

like a delicate bloom

that’s been handled too much

I move in close and pucker my lips 

hoping to give my true love a kiss

she turns her head

she moves away

no sir, husband 

not today.

 

DEATH

 

festering pieces of heart

drenched with sorrow 

 

BREATH

 

no worries.

I’ll have better luck tomorrow.
