Things we don’t say

 In a Moultrie divorce

john clare stokes


Those who were closest

Said they never saw it coming

But we the discerning

We saw it long ago knowing

He spent more and more 

Time with his tree stand

(May as well been another woman)

And she joined that rock band

(May as well been another man)

And we ate around them Thanksgivings and never spoke

Of things we discerned

Those closest going on passing the 

Cranberry and some gravy

She with those chord progressions tacked to the refrigerator

Right over the deer he killed.
