you live
with her throughout your
life
she cooks well
washes your clothes
irons them out
she keeps the order
of the day
the matters of the
house
she commands and
you obey
when asked if you
love her
you answer evasively
she cooks well
she washed the clothes
and irons them all out
you are asked if you
love her
and you smile, and leave
it is the silence that
tells
whatever truth there is.
