SEPARATE
Separate
but complete she stood amidst the litter
Of budding, burst and fallen fruit
Pipped at the post she stooped and collected
'stones'
To make that peace offering with many
hours' work
Occasional savage kicks with an affronted
foot
He chose her over me -
the swine
All because --- ah shit ---- I still
shouldn't have
Scratched his stupid car - let his tyres
down or cut his upholstery
I hope they are happy and have many
children
Perhaps she can't have children?
She will! - I bet she will even be a
good mother
