Conjugal Petals
How sad to realize one day
after twenty years or more
with the same woman, that your
lovemaking has become more ritual
than passion—but perhaps this
recognition of repetitive groping
will reawaken the love flower so
that it can bloom yet again.

Conjugal Petals - once again I feel this could be more oblique. Can you let the reader work out what to feel/think rather than directly stating what the poet thinks/feels? Perhaps 'show' a little more, and tell less?
