A Vow

by Simon Pettet

Each portion

of perfect beauty

is acutely noted,

deftly remarked upon

and

not at all dismissed

Clap hands mouth clichés.

When did you stop loving me?

I never stopped loving you!,

How could you possibly say such terrible things?

I don’t.  You do,

You do, sweetie, you do . . .

Tell us what you think
