Dead Husbands

Faucets  leak another tomorrow,

pecking my shoulder with excuse

me's.



Always being asked directions to

streets never heard of.....


                                     I choose silence over-

                                                                          postscripts

                                                                          bargains and
ordeals.



I embraced tributes to dying plants,future fatalities

with bruised Gardenias.


I should be dancing on fire but I forgot to

bring a date.


apart of me is walking down an ugly street where silence

is not permitted ,while the remainder part of me reminds

me......


that last times are first times gone bad.



meanwhile....windows wear the shirts of Dead Husbands.

very well written...the last line is striking, I like the idea of windows 'wearing' shirts...
