Reason A. Poteet Poet Free verse

Fraulein Wexler

free verse

German workaholic, 
jilted as a young bride
never knew a lover's grace
denying a broken heart
she studied marketing

Munich melodramatic, 
content within her world of work
no romantic evenings, 
no late night rendezvous
plainly all-business, but magic, 
a charming, female financier

Bar mates with nostalgia
bid her farewell remembering
she was one glass of wine or maybe two

Transferring five hours north
ready for a change
Fraulein's boss wishes she would work
instead of drinking coffee in the cafés of Berlin.
