Retired Professor.
Be in maternity robe or ball gown
be in chat room or on bridal bed
love that denies breathing space
blooms only to wither away.
...
At his wheel, squat
the aged potter
Withered and scraggy
Mixing clay and sweat.
...
When marked man and wife
I'm lost in him, they cry.
But this invisibility, I celebrate
That kills but rejuvenates.
