Broken Marriages

A broken marriage
is not only the painful cleavage
between the Adam and Eve
of my parentage
it is also an excruciating rape
against my emotional growth.
 
A broken marriage
is not only the absence
of mummy’s full rations
it is also the presence
of another Eve
with half rations
 
A broken marriage
is not only retrenchment
of mine advocate before daddy
it is also the employment
of mine prosecutor before daddy
 
A broken marriage
not only punishes culprits
it also makes a scapegoat of me.
