Mediocre MatrimonyA Poem by Sarah JaneThe naked space above my left knuckle Longs for a glinting gold to surround it With a jewel as white as honeysuckle That’s perfectly fit for a hypocrite A day of perfection is all I want Memories of musical matrimony To fill a photo album I will flaunt All while collecting my alimony Aching again, my bare finger attests Unity is more than desolation I will curl my hair and don a new dress While my heart now longs for liberation I've learned that even with a new last name I’m unsatisfactorily the same © 2019 Sarah JaneReviews
