poem to an x-husband on his birthday
we danced the rhythms of our lives and then
we complicated love, our urban eye opera:
my gypsy violin and your Spanish guitar were strung
with dissonance and the music died
like a stillborn child
between us
today I remember how we once loved
in our untamed blue-jeaned
yearning
Love does not die, it just changes rhythm,
it just changes partners.
I remember. Don't you?
