"No Warning No Reason,"
Because he left her, she must make him
someone she doesn't love, rescripting as
deception their hand-clasped walks at dusk
when she felt this was the hand of God
linking her to him because she was
so blessed to be given this love
this late in life. It must have been lies:
each touching word, all thoughtfulness,
his shows of pleasure putting her first,
his endearing sex talk that first
amused her then got to her
(his hot moist breath the poison in her ear)
as he learned with seeminly selfless patience
how to move inside her as no one ever had before
How can she change memories like these?
He must have been lying
because the man who did these things
could not leave her with no warning no reason
But she knows he wasn't,
and, because she knows he wasn't
she is stuck. No one can help her.
No one can enter the sacred circle that they made together
she now wears as a necklace of fre
How can she obliterate the person he is?
What is she to do? She has to live.
