Return to Cups

They fell in and then they failed in love

Entwined in a dream then woke up with a shove


Outcomes are sketchy when marital reality is rife

With a choices like, forever pissed off or numbed by life


A long arduous trip to a trite destination

A hike through the bone yard of a marital skeleton


What should have only gasped a hot sweet torrid etude

Careened from a holy ceremony… to longevous platitude


Until she turned him into her own bitter half

And assumed the role of punch line for their marital gaffe


The day she bolted and fled from their white noise life

Shrugged the chain of complacency and emerged an ex-wife


She a vibrating rebel dodging “it takes two baby” stones

Vehemently rejecting all relationship bones


She still finds grace, fondness and love for her bitter half

He’s got the house, a younger girlfriend and a mordant laugh


In the whirled she flounders but lives life straight up to the wall

Prefers to have each new day slap her than feel nothing at all
