there are meetings, apparently
where women like me,
can go and share our feelings
and suggest others of ways for healing
from this recent widowhood.

in these meetings, apparently,
there are women looking for therapy:
women who were once
wives and mistresses
of the same dead bastard.

women with dead fiancés,
women with late medical bills to pay,
women with boyfriends who died,
women like me, left alone in life
to deal with the aftershocks solo.

these meetings, apparently,
are made to help women like me
to grow out of our rabbit holes
and search for us new life goals

and form a community.

[it sucks what life has to take from you
to give you something you don't even need.]
