DivorceA Poem by Janelle
I'm caught abreast
With sorrow, seeping from my chest And no cop nor couch Nor alimony check Can keep deceiving Me from what was ruined A picture perfect family Fluke Just faded crayons crying Into papers, white And spite Is marching through me As they sign away what rights (What rights?) I might have known Before I was an object passed From day to day And week to week To carry on your shoulder Like an ornament. It's, what is meant When one says to the other I'm no longer to be bothered So take them, take them This one's yours on weekdays And I'll say, Where's my say?
