The Trophy Wife Poem by Lorenzo Costigliolo

Statuesque
quaint roses, daily calls
love notes, sly looks
bright eyes, flashing lashes
wet lips, tasty balm
soft kisses, twinkling stars
moon light, knight’s charm
falling rain, colored bows,
rainbows, oh, promises
pretty things, diamond rings
thin fingers, long arms
bulging breasts, thin waist,
taut sinews, firm lines,
baubles and bangles
dangling bracelets
wrists and ankles
decorated
Trophy
Anus (f) Latin for old woman, old hag; anus (m) ring; anus (m) fundament
Wife
Until day by day
dead roses, no calls,
business notes, dry looks
dulled eyes, drooping lashes,
cracked lips, tasteless balm,
hard kisses, fallen stars,
ignored moon, knight’s gone,
drenching rain, wrinkled bows,
rainbows with no golden ends,
ugly things, tarnished rings,
fat fingers, flabby arms,
sagging breasts, folded waist,
snapped sinews, wavy lines,
bubbles and dangles,
tarnished bracelets
wrists and ankles
bone bare
Trophy
