Act As If
Act as if your love
Has gone,
As if you live
Alone
And have to sort out bills
And fix the house,
Buy food,
Keep beauty ordered
Giving cat and bird
The care they’re used to,
Keeping fire, chopping wood…
Think it through
As though
You are the sole support –
(Not counting God and thought.)
A revelation in itself.
All its own,
You alone -to do alone
What two could do before.
