ANNULMENT

ANGELA BALL

image

I’ve ruined my marriage, but still I enjoy the hum of nature,

And the pleasure of greeting a kindly pedestrian

When I have the chance.

Make no mistake, I’m fond of my bungalow.

Returning home at night, I can’t resist waltzing a bit

With my valise. I let my right foot go first,

Since it’s my favorite.

I live a quiet life, thinking of what to say,

Heeding the call of the wild, removing my sunglasses in tunnels.

I never refreeze, though I may try it one day.
