Your husband loves me,
or rather the idea of loving me.
He loves you, really, but

The freedom to imagine
created those fanciful dreams. . . .

If she would listen
to old ladies who know.

I’ve been talking to myself lately

Because I was alone, I started lists.
Inchoate and lost, they saved me.
Began structuring life around needs,
