Spousal Love

Spousal love is conditional, as

Perplex as it is trivial, feelings

Lost in a space so liminal,

Once so visceral,

Now conditional. 

Spousal love is provisional, feathered
Kisses are prized collateral, changing

Sheets, fraudulently sensual,
Merely habitual,
Merely conditional.

Spousal love is subliminal, whispering
Vows without a syllable, thirsting

Hearts, but the heart is undrinkable,
Folded into

 Something cyllindrical,
Round and conditional.
