Victoria Perry
She prepares dinner while building their home of solitude.
For a slight moment, of content silence, she sits.
Her Husband occupies there, where? children, swaddling right word? at the water.
As she is lost in thought,
Sitting with her emotions.
Not in a sad manner.
But a moment of regret.
She craves to be careless.
To have no little hands reaching for her help, or to be wiped.
She misses being tightly independent without a man,
And his cohesion.
She is a Woman with simple values.
She longs for a moment, to sit without regret.
She misses being a woman.
Before a mother.
