Monogamous

by Anne Carson

Anne Carson

Monogamous.
I'm interested in monogamous.
I got married last May

and had my honeymoon is Stykkishólmur.
This year I returned to Stykkishólmur
to live with my husband

for three months in one small room.
This extreme monogamy
proved almost too much for us.

Rather than murder each other
we rented a second place
(Greta's house)

near the pool.
Now we are happily duogamous.
