A divided role and self

Separated by a space

That allows the scope to make the small changes

That convince one of this division

A professional dynamic but doubted

And often resented for this unstated power

Then the switch to a role

More demure, varied and loving

A woman attentive and lovely

Creating a presence

That is felt but rarely acknowledged

Cementing unrecognised

The bind of a life

Essayed to deny its own power
