I Am A Daughter-In-Law

even in Death —

The Death of My Mother

brought to an end My First Marriage

but I held on to My Ex-Husband’s Parents

& They held on to Me

through The Death of Peter’s Father

I am now saddled with His Mother

Whom I Love

but will I get Her Groceries

and oh — should I mention

that My Second Husband

is My Ex-Mother-In-Law’s

Doctor?
