MARRIAGE, YIN and YANG, a poem

 

A woman ensnares a man

in Carolyn Heilbrun’s analysis:

“the rest is aging and regret”

On the other side of that grim coin

are the fruits of a joyful marriage:

pleasure, connection, children

Your experience could be

the luck of the draw,

or perhaps the product

of a life lived well or ill

 

The quote comes from Heilbrun’s book,

WRITING A WOMAN’S LIFE.
