she opens the envelope car...<br />the widow's lover <br /><br />she opens the envelope carefully<br />with an opener slicing the edges<br />perfectly holding the surprise for<br />another moment in the dark falling<br />about her like pretty clothes dropped<br />to the carpet, heart beats fast, hope<br />unvoiced, holds the pretty parchment<br />sliced open between painted nails<br />in the almost dark - helpless as visions<br />of him gain dominion over grief of one<br />obligated to be mourned - the good man<br />who lies atop satin in the parlor while she<br />slides the letter, kisses the familiar loops<br />of pen and ink and words of illicit love and<br />grants grief a mean holiday - filling with the<br />bubbles of passion for just this moment of <br />this dark, dim, ever-present day<br /><br /><br />Dr. Pearl Ketover Prilik (PKP)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15506538737806033824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-42382529468618907.post-66732909052114958982014-05-31T06:54:51.615-04:002014-05-31T06:54:51.615-04:00Hello.
