Vera Kilgore Heilig: Her Poetry Lives (2017) H. Morris Williams, Marie Law Haire
Divorce
I made a vow to cherish you
Till death should come between.
But this is death, this withering
Where hope sprang green.
The tombstones of my murdered dreams
Are evidence of death that is more real
Than any actual death of bone and sinew.
Do you think I’d feel
Life’s blood drain out more surely
From a dagger in the heart
Than from this death of faith
That does us part?
