Praying For Light
Always the mistress,
never the wife
Dessert that comes last,
motel in sight
Acting the courtesan,
children denied
Life in the shadows,
love that must hide
Everything borrowed,
everything loaned
Feelings on time-share,
never to own
Always a mistress,
never a wife
Married to darkness,
—praying for light
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
