What are you doing, girlfriend,
mascaraed, primping.
and anticipating tonight?
Let's walk to the dock's end
and think awhile.
Are you grasping for
what has been lost
between husband and wife?
The fires of our sexuality
have grown bitter cold, perhaps?
Childlike, I peek over
the dock's edge
and am startled at
my own reflection
of a woman
ripping through quiet tides
of being married.
I really don't know her.
Flowing from a husband
to the warmth
of a new lover tonight,
I reflect on the sunset
burning tidal marshes
into darkness.
Instinctively, my heart
understands
the marsh heron's sudden
nocturnal screech.
We are both flying blindly
and alone,
into night's dangers.
