the widow stepping out

the widow

no longer in black, but
 pink
and frilly white,

is done mourning. she's mourned
for most
of
her life 

the choices she made.
stuck

in the sadness
of love
soured. decades of biting
her tongue,
being silent.

but game over.

now it's her turn to take
a swing

at the night. stepping
out

with lipstick on, heels.
dressed

to but nines. may he rest in peace,
but
it's way over due
to live,

to have fun.
