On Plumbing Following A Divorce

Plucked corroded

by her hand

the cold water faucet

handle turns useless

as a cartoon steering wheel

torn from its post.

She will not

absolutely will not

permit herself

to investigate

using a pair of pliers

(something like a pump handle)

and so admit now even

such a task as drawing water

has become a running backwards

to a time of women at the well,

a time before men,

a time of mothers.
