this morning my husband pronounces
I’ve lost fifteen pounds
Great job honey! I say
this afternoon a box of “fresh-baked”
white chocolate macadamia nut cookies
shows up on the counter
now I need to shut up and pretend
I won’t hear the glass of milk
being poured before bedtime
or the crinkling noise
of the see-through cellophane
as the top is lifted
or notice him silhouetted
by the light of the open frig
and as I flick off the light
