30-year-old virgin
waiting saving keeping
(shake that old pink piggy bank
cracked open nothing inside
except Bazooka wrappers bobby pins)
Her Faberge’ insides faux
Sugar for snow postcards for window scenes
A diorama of semi-working parts
A pop up book saved on her shelf
ever after for nieces and nephews
beyond missed past pleasure
and free of the fruitful future she had seen
“I’d rather be a mother than a wife.”
Now neither, never neither all of her life
