The Innisfree Poetry Journal www.innisfreepoetry.org by Ernie Wormwood THE POET, THE WIFE, THE LOVER & THE STUDENT just as he thought the way he loved his wife,
was enough. His newest lover, his student, increased the tension palpably, so he hid
the scissors, the knives Wherever he was and he napped like a nervous new mother
because of his new Baby. It is not ours to know what mix of alchemy and intimacy
his old lover used, But one morning, having returned to the marital bed and his sleeping wife,
very late, He arises in the shadowy dark, picks up his razor, sends the shaving cream
to his fingers, Stands on his lusty homo sapiens feet, looks into the Venetian glass over the his
and the wife Jane's sinks, And sees the name, announcing his right shoulder, a mistress's manifesto in a bleeding red heart
