FRAGILE
Eggshells, fluorescent tubes,
some high heels, some insect legs,
the second year of marriage, hey,
it used to be the fourth year of marriage.
FRAGILE - that word should be stamped
in red - on the naked skin of every marriage.
It’s a covenant. Regular
checking out
how things are going…. bending, adjusting,
sacrifices, many sacrifices - and working on
about 5 other specific awareness’s
and a marriage can make it to 50
and 60 years - till death do we part -
that is, if a couple really want
a lifetime of great love -
that is, if a couple really want
a lifetime of great love -
to write a great story together.
