namaste

there was the time
my soon to be ex yoga wife.
came up behind me and put
me in a choke hold
that her
karate boyfriend had taught
her.
my son was standing 
nearby practicing
his drums.
he kept playing, his eyes
wide open,
and saying. mom?
i could barely breathe but
managed to whisper
in surrender, namaste.
