Birthday
Memorial
For
your birthday, I watered the flowers
you
didn’t like. Made the breakfast you didn’t
eat
and walked the dog you didn’t want. You didn’t
ask
me where your present was. You didn’t pry.
Or
nag, fair play. You didn’t try and ruin your own
birthday
for a change. You didn’t try and blame me
for
once. Pack your precious travel bags, and storm
out
of the house. Returning with the pigs who put me
straight
under arrest. No you were a model of married
bliss
that day. Motionless in bed. Underneath the flowers.
A
day I’ll always remember.
