A Little Poem From A Little Half-Breed
by Mary Salome
by Mary Salome
If you marry for love
you won't have children.
You'll have ambassadors.
You can send them to kiss your mother-in-law
You can send them to kiss your mother
You can give them your best directions
They will still get lost
Between the houses
You can see them
seeking their reflections
in the muddy pools that mar the path.
