Why My Love #2

May 28, 2013 by Eli Steffen

Three Stories Invented in the Paris Fog

 

Three women sitting on a bench

            One pair of red lips

            One set of red painted fingers

            One bun of dyed red hair

 

Three women talking in low voices

            One wants a full-term pregnancy

            One wants a fulfilling income bracket

            One wants a legal way out

 

Three women living in Paris

            One came with structure

            One came with time

            One came with space

 

Three women all in trench coats

            One break up story

            One useless piece of advice

            One laugh of misunderstood commonality

 

Three women away from home

            One left a buried baby

           One left a sundered family

            One left an empty closet

 

Three women sitting on a bench

            One holding on

            One coming together

            One leaving soon
