The Love of a Married Man is an Underrated Terror
The love of a married man is an underrated terror -
his gaze glittering with passing street lamps,
his tone a malicious mystery
indicated by intonation and devious inflection.
The love of a man is underrated -
wrecking havoc on the enclosed space in my chest
to the left of my spine.
My love is a terror -
undermining his authority,
making the married man
a man yet again.
