Married

By Florence Kiper Frank


From “Women” Studies in the Erotic Emotion “I HAD sought you, seeking her.
You were lost; she was near.
Oh, believe this of me, dear!”

“Men are queer.
Love’s a twisted, bitter thing.	5
I must cling
To some inner fact of trust:
I’ve your child here. I must
Say it to my sickening youth,
‘It’s the truth!’”	10

“Dust and shame are on my head!”

“Quiet now! Let’s go to bed.”
