Death Watch

So your husband took an oath of celibacy
What’s that to do with me?
You said you would take care of me
Don’t you know what “take care of” means?
Or did you take me out of context?
The Bridegroom looks at his watch
Nervously waiting for the night,
The Bride?
She waits on her handmaidens,
Giving them flowers and laughing,
Knowing that her lover's watch has just stopped.
