Handbag

I walk into the living room and find
my wife sitting on the couch,
rummaging through her handbag.

“This thing keeps getting heavier,” she says.
“I want to find out what’s in it.”

As I watch, she reaches inside and
out of the depths, pulls my up heart.

“Well, what do you know?” she says,
holding it up and examining it.
“After all these years, I didn’t even know
I still had this.”

Oh Steve. I read this several days ago, but stuff kept getting in the way of writing a review. A wonderful poem, perhaps one of the best of yours I have read. I love it. If we were still FSing, this would be a stonking 6. You capture both a physical and a metaphorical image with such a deft stroke. And what an insightful reflection on a long marriage. Such a pleasure to read. S
