bright sunshine
bringing stark shadows
barking terrier

my husband's eyes do not reflect the stars
though married we are not, and yet, we are
for in a sheltered place we said our vows
in front of friends and lovers, took our bows.
If music be the food of love, playlists
once fed our passion through the mists
where rabbits played, though long the years have passed
since dawn released us to our separate cars
he, to his family and kids; me perked
with tea and cigarettes, drive home to work
and process unemployment claims and laugh
in love while suffering the bigotry of staff.
A mental breakdown followed with a fall
but for the love he gave, I would not survive at all.
