To live together as lovers
A shoe box size dorm is more
Than enough
Especially if life is lived by
Shared heartbeat.
The smallest table in the
Smallest corner serves greatly
As love has spurned on
Creative powers of the artistic
Mate.
However the spouse you live
With for a life time
Had originally captured you
Fitting together physically and
Emotionally like hand in glove.
Yet nothing will stand still
Everything’s in flux
Like happiness and fulfilling
Love you’ll realize
Passing the half-century
Together-living-line.
She suddenly disturbs you
The artist at work
In a tiny corner of a kitchenette
Demanding an open door
As she pays half for the bedsitter.
Damned!
If she just wouldn’t go in and out
To use the fridge
Every few minutes at a time.
Still you prevail writing your
Thoughts into your turquoise
Notebook
Letting it go and then seek
To clear your mind
In hourly long walks
Calling up sweet memories
Crusting over all unpleasant
Happenings of advanced age
In partnership.
