Robot

inside the nest of
your marriage

your husband with
a thick face

has changed you
into a robot-bird

with mechanical
wings, with a beak

made of steel and
with claws made

of magnetic wires.
another sadness.

another cruelty
on the nest that

they expect must
bring love and

rest. You give me
a blank stare and

i said to myself:
i perfectly understand.
