Poem

March 7, 2014

She patiently sits by the telephone
Awaiting a ring from the one she adores
It seems far too long since her husband's been gone
She wonders if anyone's minding the store

She flips on the switch in the darkened hall
Walks quietly over the holes - back and forth
Reports from her gun long ago were forestalled
She wiped clean the deed by excising the source

Mary what you doing now
As Spring perfume inspires the air
Rise up from your rocking chair
It's so lovely in the South
Mary, what you doing now

Suspicion had mounted until they were caught
There in the hallway, her sister with him
Screaming, she shot five more times as they dropped
On learning the truth, Mary ceased to exist

Mary what you doing now
Inside those honeysuckle prayers
Ask forgiveness, you'll be spared
Long forgotten when and how
Mary, what you doing now

His mother just died
Your sister was kind
A guiltless embrace
Til you blew them away

Mary what you doing now
Have you no memories to share
Must you always sit and stare
Dead within and lost without
Mary, what you doing now
Say, Mary, what you doing now?
