My daughters and sons have put me away with marbles and dolls,
Are gone from my house.
My husband and lovers are pleasant or somewhat polite
A night is night
It is a real chill out,
The genuine thing
I am not deceived, I do not think it is still summer
Because sun stays and birds continue to sing

A caesura is a pause or break in a line of poetry, often marked by punctuation. In the lines provided:
A. “Already I am no longer looked at with lechery or love.”
B. “I am not deceived, I do not think it is still summer”
C. “My daughters and sons have put me away with marbles and dolls,”
D. “It is a real chill out,”
The line that contains a caesura is B. “I am not deceived, I do not think it is still summer.” The comma creates a natural pause in the rhythm of the line.
