Buri – a marriage of convenience

Not just your average woman, Buriram Tourakom,
this one's had her share of sacrifice.

Let her marriage be a lesson in compromise:

It's not her homeland but it is her home –
A muddy battlefield is her chapel,
a seasoned warrior makes her soft-handed maid.

When the spell is over, she'll see her new life for what it's become:

Her command given to a man half her age, he'll do it half as well.
She's to be a kept woman (mice and pumpkins all inclusive).

Right now she's here and committed,
she's ready and waiting.

But when will he get here?


Third drabble, this one's for Misha.

ever and always,

Fenella
