wife
is a noun/ is a verb/ is a cage
is a word that can only carry
me so far
(maybe eleven years into the past)
is a curse/ is an honor/ is a warning
is a word that has shaken
the windowpanes in this house
with sorrow
is a call/ is a song/ is a plea
is a word for a woman
who hollows herself
who brings flowers to the table
no matter what
is a role/ is a mask/ is a death sentence
is a word for someone who knows
there is more, but counts
their blessings
myself
a cage/ a curse/ a plea/ a mask/
a sale/ a steal/ an applicant/
a daughter/ a modern woman/
a golden cow
Serena! I love this poem.
Thanks!!
Serena, I love this! You have always been such a strong writer. Love reading your stuff :)
Aw thank you so much Hannah!! Much love!
Your phrases expressing that a woman is one who hollows herself …who brings flowers to the table no matter what…they’re chillingly accurate when one is in a bad relationship. Great poem.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your response ❤️
And they are great poems for poets who gain them or lose them…
Ha!
