The Stages Of Marriage
marriage is indeed
relational
at the first part of it
she gives you a lover
later the lover becomes
your sister and
later the sister turns
out to be a mother
it is only when you are
dead that she becomes a wife
again
she cries for a while
she takes all that you have
and if she is still too young and desirable
another man
steps into your room and weaves love stories
in the conjugal bed that
you once bought
that woman is now
a total stranger.....
