Michael Quattrone
Second Thought, Double Take
He's still in love with her
my wife confided,
speaking of my father
and my mother.
They are divorced, have been
my life divided.
I wanted more than half
so I took double.
Does he trace a life
he never lived,
a husband to a mother
of a son?
Does he live this second
life aggrieved
or split between unknowing
and undone?
I too anatomize
what I regret,
wonder how the other
half lives.
It's what we sacrifice
we can't forget,
though life takes only
half of what it gives.
