300 Days And Nights
 
  Ash cascading, fading, onto highway
Floors
Unswept. Unwashed dishes dusted with
Roasted vows
Spoken coldly, unsmiling.
I smiled at the sun, clouds,
Forever sails.

Do you love, honor, and promise to blemish...
Will you take this woman...make her old.
Will you hold her...every 3 months.
Will you turn her laughter to tears...then hatred.

I curl silver light through fingers that once
Curled hair.
I look through silvered eyes of age, that once
Were green with life.

300 days and nights
Have married the
Vows of divorce.

well, you know the 3 rings of marriage, right? Engagement ring, wedding ring, and then the suffer -ring. Liked the cutting humor in this piece. -chuck
