i am a woman in particular-
with a lift bridge as a crutch to get me to a moment
or discovery.
i retract
and refrain
and walk away
from you-
my ever elusive claimed "wife."
what did it make you feel
to hear those words
sloppy from another's tongue?
but i digress
i am not that woman anymore
and perhaps your taste is more refined
than for me
i wait
guiltily
but curious just the same...
