You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars.

Dents in the walls,

and blood in the halls.

Caused by a single word:

matrimony.

Dishes stacked up,

and one parent is gone.

There is no welcome mat,

but this is my happy home.

The author's comments:

This poem is NOT to be taken literally.

This is just how divorce feels.
