Buttoned Lips
Slipping out the back door
bedroom curtains open she looks
quick goodbye wave he leaves.
Concerned third party sees everything
as unsuspecting husband returns later
coming home for his tea.
Before long it is time
joining them with lips buttoned
while dropping off two grandchildren.
The theme for Monday night is - - - looking through other people's eyes.
