Status

The rings on my left hand
have been catching my eye
today with flashes of light
and the warm smooth feel of
gold on my skin.
It's been almost four years
since we made our vows of love.
Marriage mostly feels like
joy and privilege and I am
proud to wear this sign of our
commitment and to be your wife
though some days it feels
like a too-tight manacle
when we aren't getting along.
