Marriage Elevator

by Glenn Currier

I'm on the marriage elevator,

its electric ozone odor
scratched into the air

itchy static charge
in the breach

between love

and the gray slate

of habit.

LOL! Interesting analogy Glenn. As the ol' saying goes, "what goes up must come down."

*soft sigh*... there is such bittersweetness here that it was almost like listening to the blues.

you have captured in essence that miraculous space between love and the obvious.

This truly makes me too sad to come up with a decent comment. So I guess it's reached its goal then, huh?

sometimes a power outage and a silent time together trapped somewhere helps. Don't mind me, after 27 yrs. I know the ups and downs.

I can only sigh in understanding and...resignation. You described it very well.

You nailed the sensation. That line is always being crossed... sometimes from minute to minute! Great verse.

Cynical, but clever, Glenn. Hope your ups are more joyous than the plunges to the basement...
