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.
