Far Better - Blues Poem 18

It’s better to let her… keep those fancy shoes and bags if she comes to bed each night It’s better to let her… have the house worn and ragged if the trim stays fresh and light It’s better to let her… whine and constantly bemoan if she smells like summer rain It’s better to let her… cash the checks you bring home —if she’ll whisper those words again (Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
