Far Better

It’s better to let her…

 keep those fancy shoes and bags

 if she comes to bed each night

 

It’s better to let her…

  have the house worn and ragged

  if the trim stays fresh and light

 

It’s better to let her…

 whine and constantly bemoan

 if she smells like summer rain

 

It’s better to let her…

 cash the checks you bring home

   —if she’ll whisper those words again

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
