DIVORCE

This is not a picture how things are done nowadays, but as they might have been 100 years ago. However, the feelings about it are the same as they would.

Parchment, dry as desert-thirst,

unravels revealing words,

scored scratch-bled

with fancy feather-quill

by bespeckled clerk,

disinterested, cold,

looks up with scant acknowledgement,

a seasoned minion,

practised at his art,

points to line-space for my signature,

to end a fixed span of dead existence,

that is final, a complete erasure,

wiping clean or clear

of dim, wan colours in a past landscape,

painting dry as desert-thirst,

opaque, clouds fall in sequence

darkly each word scored scratch-bled,

my closed, intact resolution,

clerk demands the full paper,

sullen lines to leave behind.
