a married man, listens

July 20, 2017 by Michael Guerin

a married man
listens to his wife
(and a whole lot more
than she’ll give him credit for)
mainly as one might
try to gauge the weather
before heading outside
by parting curtains
to survey a morning sky.
it helps to know
which of her moods might
be on display
whether it’s all sunshine
or dark grey storm clouds
are headed his way.
a married man
doesn’t talk much
(but not that he
hasn’t much to say)
it’s just safer most times
to keep those thoughts
in mind
because what he craves
is a little peace
and quiet
at the end of the day.
