Apart at the Seams
by Beau Boudreaux
|
Rising early
one weekend morning
Aline began to wash
the floors and windows
in all the rooms
of our rented house
which took her late
into the afternoon
and when she finished
she sat in a chair
and wept out loud
because, she said,
I hadn't even tried
to stop her
