harder is facing the return to autonomy.
How much better our informal partnership
before we decided to incorporate.
In the reasoned light of hindsight,
a more viable option would have been
candlelit, covert meetings,
more passionate than profound,
more exotic than essential.
The rush to merger called down a
curse on hard-won, individual freedoms;
thus the union foundered.
Now, darkness conceals clandestine pleasures.

sometimes structure takes away the fun, doesn't it? very cool.
ReplyDeleteYou got the proverb? It had no structure except to be sure a word in the proverb appeared (except for one line). It really describes my second, short-lived marriage--if you couldn't tell. Original title, A Failed Marriage Hides a Proverb. xoxo
