Poem "You, Husband"

You, husband
are my beginning and end. Far beyond
this meagre pen, its meagre droppings.

You husband, defy existence,
having crept inside my own
- made me an extension of yourself -
like a vine. Thirsty for the lifeblood
of such a tender young morsel -
so Ripe -
and afraid.

Yet your musical voice
soothes my soul,
your musical soul
soothes my voice,

and helps me breathe.

Allowing words to form
that would not otherwise
have found a note.

And there you are,
listening.
