Micheal and Kelly
the happy ending

by
Jude Kyrie


He is so beautiful how could he
possibly love me?
My eyes too wide my *** too big
My size fourteen struggling
to maintain itself.
I am sure he married me
because I was pregnant.
Perhaps it was the right
thing to do.
And he always
does the right thing.
But when the twins came
I have never seen anyone
As happy as him.
Well unless you count me in.
We took the twins for a walk
Into central park.
It was late autumn.
The world was red and amber.
The leaves crackled under our feet.
In the grey skyline
the old city looked down
at us.
It had seen many such
Unlikely love stories
over the years.
Michael picked up the twins
and kissed them
He held onto me
in a group hug.
He whispered
Oh Kelly I am so happy
so very happy.
Thank you for your love my angel.
And there in the autumn glow
of the falling leaves
He kissed me
And fell inside the door
I had left open for only him
Inside my heart.
As he entered inside
I closed the door quickly
Locking it with the only key
that existed.
Then throwing it away
Into the urban forest
of Central park
Never to be found again.
