Precious Metal
They bought their first car just after the war
from home to work his run to the office
always drove safely she made him promise
trips out with children those times to explore,
any fighting and he'd give them what for.
Now George just drives Ethel to the hospice
walks are hampered by canes and all this
illness and pain that wont, cant be restored.
Today the back seats have been folded down,
with a quilt George made them a makeshift bed,
they lay side by side with everything said,
trembling lovers hold each other entwined.
He matched her shoes with her finest silk gown
fumes, fill their dance floor for just one more time.
