Nested Touches (14/36)
Vonnets in an Airport Lounge
Modern eyes might think that she gave up all,
marriage over career she did prefer.
Exploring life together was her call,
not a bargain with the devil for her.
She found another job, banking HR,
nested her touches on our apartment.
For transportation she bought a new car,
and joined our church choir for fulfillment.
As newlywed months became blissful years,
she could not help being a bit chagrined.
A nagging question caused occasional tears:
for us when would family life begin?
She conferred with medical attendant,
“I’m young-wed wife! Why am I not pregnant?”
