the six week plan

it takes a long time,
she tells you
to get over a broken heart.
years, in fact.
it's been nine years
since I've gone out
on another date.
I have my dog, my cat,
my knitting
and my friends.
we watch tv together
and heal
our wounds, we talk it over.
what went wrong.
but I think i'm ready now
to get back out there
and find my next
soul mate. and you,
she says, how long does
it take you to recover
and be whole again.
six weeks you tell her,
give or take a week or two.
