I

have

turned

it

over

and

over

again

in

my

mind

to

see

if

I

can

find

how

and

when

exactly

the

erosion

began

how

it

happened

how

our

love

story

eventually

became

this

loveless

marriage

that

hides

behind

the

baby’s’

carriage

and

the

nursery

painted

light

green

what

a

scene

I’m

in

a

bad

dream

a

tabloid

magazine

an

obscene

film

minus

the

pornography

but

this

is

our

autobiography

our

relationship’s

geography

and

there

is

no

foreplay

no

body

geometry

there’s

no

play

at

all

except

for

the

baby

with

her

dollies

inside

her

penitentiary

and

for

me

with

my

pen

on

this

stationary

and

the

only

love

between

us

is

the

one

in

my

dictionary

About the Creator

Jennifer True

Hello,

I was living in a remote cabin when covid-19 lockdown hit. I began writing a poem every day as a writing project and have continued on from there. Thank you so much for reading my work and for your feedback.

Cheers!

Jennifer
