The Tell

The basketball makes him not my husband

and saying so in poems makes me

the bad wife. Where is the private, i.e., impassive

mask I purchased for my wedding

but then forgot to wear?

My mind wrote me a letter requesting to be

left out of it. My body sent flowers

and a note: “sorry for your loss.”

But both paid to see the flop and stayed in ’til the river.

Better to fold the winning hand than fall in love with your cards, says the husband.
