In Sickness and in Health
by Jane E PearceI guess you can say
the honeymoon is over-
no more coy modesty
to smile about.
no blushing cheeks.
.
Things are real now- you
can hardly walk, and choke
if you eat too fast. I wash
you when needed and put
on you an external catheter
so we can both sleep at night.
.
I often remember that beautiful
September afternoon, many years ago,
dressed in wedding clothes and the words.
"in sickness and in health."
