The Realistic Wife of the Poet
Well then
Let's hear it
But Please
Please
Don't say my eyes
Or anything else
Are like the stars
Are they ***** of hot gas -
Hydrogen and helium - exploding
in nuclear fusion reactions?
Is this to what you compare?
You blindly mold prose
To things you do not
Understand
Surely there is beauty in a star
But not the kind you mean
You are letting Nature and God
Do all the work for you
And Please
Don't compare my hair
To a river flowing-
Or my voice to a Summer's
Day
Yes I'm aware that the moon
Is glowing but
My skin being a cold rock
Face
Is without flattery
Real me in like Shakespeare's
Mistress
Not the same ten words
In a different dress
Not
Large vague concepts
Attached to my exterior
For it is only the exterior from
Which your words are forming
But your poems have a lot of Instagram likes so what do I know, really
