With irrepressible intention
Joyce takes off for an intervention
An ever blossoming head turner
steeply she roars off from the house
as if by switched-on ‘afterburner’
Fades behind: a blown over spouse
who’ll be wobbling, gasping
in turbulent wake
from cheering, voice rasping
uncombed, stare opaque
Lost in irrelevancy’s realm
clasping pale at his flimsy helm
