Small Shoulders Poem by Donal Mahoney
Small Shoulders
She speaks the truth
as she always has
in 40 years of marriage
especially when she’s
lost in making dinner
this time though
she has to wash
blood from the paring knife
before she peels
the last of the potatoes.
Until the knife went in
he didn’t think in 40 years
she had noticed that
for a man his size he
has small shoulders.
