Cul-de-sac
Poem (audio)
Cul-de-sac
All was desirable here:
3 bed, 3 bath
and a half,
marble counters and floors
classic French doors,
big den
with a bay window
revealing perfect roses in the garden,
prim picket fences framing a well-cut lawn,
large pool and patio
leading to a gazebo in the backyard…
but we chose to live at a circle called Hazard.
And “we” are now
a lonely housewife
half-living the life,
and a sad gray cat.
I don't know
where my husband's at.
That louse!
I got the house
but it's not a home.
