Revision 2: The Three Wives of Chuck Taine

[Todd]

I couldn't believe it until I learned the story of triplicate girl. It's hilarious to me this works with or without knowing who chuck taine is.  Of course later she becomes all three again, but between DC and marvel, marvel had the best backstories, you should go work for DC and maybe help with that

I married her after she died 
a widower on my honeymoon—
never something you easily bounce ha!
back from. She told me and
she told me of the android, the one that killed her
and then how she had kissed 
the sun and opened like a blossoming flower--
till her petals blackened, burned away. 
She had walked together 
then on a field of stars looking over 
her shoulder to where all things end, 
each footfall echoing 
more distant than the last. 

Now she lies on each side of me, 
and I bury her again adjusting she remembers the trauma and relives it, but now they're married he does too?
my shape to fill the well because he inflates I love it
of our grief and joy.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and that you know the source material. This came from a prompt that Leanne suggested last year in NaPM (write a poem inspired by rubber or things that bounce--something like that). That's why prompts like that are so cool you never know what you might come up with. I know I need to still pull some things together here but Chuck deserves to have something written about him--so I'll keep at it.

Best,

Todd
