cupid or casket

treason after teaching 
tallys of freedoms,
i have held tight now
handcuffs on my husband,
trust one - his credence 
or my crimson red lips,

prude girl, ruined morals,
rude girl, rumoured romance,  
i have humbled my 
poems to hoax my husband, 
trust one - his cupid 
or my cruel crosswinds,

ground floor, dirty kitchen,
a sad picture in the hall,
i have hoarded such
honour for my husband,
trust one - his customs
or my cynical criticism, 

infidelity seems better 
than the union in the bed,
i have halved this
hunger for my husband,
trust one - his complaint 
or my curses in churchrooms ,

this karst love knuckled 
the fever of the blood,
i have poisoned my 
hormones and husband,
trust one - his casket 
or my cascading crystals,

just trust one .
