The Housewife's Lament #2
The second installment of this series came to me while I was cooking dinner. It was the hottest week of the summer to date, and I was thinking about how oppressive the heat was and how oppressive a relationship could be.
I think about you as I break the woody stems from the asparagus
Removing those parts that are firm, chewy, fibrous, and undigestible.
Just like removing you from my life
leaving the tender shoots to blossom
or to be consumed by another.
