A Poem From When We Were Together

The thought of dead bamboo,
And shriveled succulent clippings,
Trying to make something grow.

Not remembering to wash the dishes,
brush the teeth,
Complete the routine and let love fall on top like a smooth soft leaved protector,
From the realization of the daily tasks.

When I'm thinking of you, I forget that I have to buy a toilet brush,
and toilet paper, and toilet bowl cleaner.
And a dress for that wedding in three weeks, that I'm going to with someone else.

Someone who I miss less when he is gone.
Someone who won't make my entire body ache if he doesn't call.

Do I want a simple, luxurious marriage?
Or should it be passionate and messy?
And, then, there's always my husband to think of.
