Here's the Friday poem! Hope you're having a great weekend. I'll be around this weekend with the perfect gin and tonic for all interested.
First Marriage In A Storefront Window
My life, a car with the engine light
on and yet I drive dark streets hoping
not to sputter and die. Casting back
to those early married days and suddenly
it's Christmas and candles burn in shop
windows as we wait for friends to join us
for dinner. Near our end, but I don't
know that yet. We step into the chain
restaurant and Marvin Gaye asks
through tinny speakers if he can get a witness.
A fried onion shaped like a flower is
brought as a starter. I know I shouldn't
eat so much of it, but I love what makes me
sick. Perhaps it will not always be like this.

I hear ya babe. I always seem to love what hurts me the most. And I remember discussing the quote that describes said situation! xo
I'll be doggone.
T'as l'air trop bonne Michelle... You are trop good... Buena... bonita... Good job ! Bye
Many of us do love what makes us sick. I used to love beer that way. I finally got over that.
Getting sick or beer Charles?
I can totally sympathize with that poem (except that my ex & I were never formally married. We just lived together for 10.5 yrs...aka "too damned long.")
Michelle,
Nice poem!
I do know what it's like to love somwething that's bad for you...I think we all probably do.
