Pillows Talk
By Elizabeth Dublin
Pillows talk
as I fold the sheets.
What they have
to say is rough
on the ears
but no surprise.
I knew but
didn’t want to know
about the blonde
and the ginger
about the bourbon
and the gin.
I never wanted to be
wife number 3.
This will be
the last time
I fold
the sheets
and listen to
the pillows talk.
Great last line. I’ll pay more attention to my pillows now.
