Her First Time
my niece Bess
hangs her head
not in shame
over her head
married too soon
macho man
4 month baby
overwhelmed
where did she go
disappeared into motherhood
thin as a rail
wifedom
tail between her legs
a young girl who should be singing songs
on stages
around the world fell for
lust and a redhead
a burly bossy handsome man
whos charm for me was transparant
but then
I've seen him before
and this was her
first time.
