no words

you brought out the
dictionary
made her swear on every
synonym
for over, left, broken

framing your questions in
all possible ways
covering all bases in
uncovering

your guile nowhere near
sufficient
for her deceit

my aunt looking for
proposals
for her daughter, adjusted
her shawl
and with a youthful laugh
once said

an old man marrying a
young girl
is like buying a book
for other people to read
