Joseph
He’s afraid of her basically.
She organises everything,
his food, his clothes
his children, their time together.
She wasn’t prepared;
it happened.
She made it work.
but . . .
She belongs to someone else,
and ponders this mystery
in her heart.
He shuts himself
in his workshop.
A good and gentle man.
