It is a simple occasion.
What can I say?
The wedding is
not elaborate.
They wear black and white.
No, this is wrong.
White and black.
The bride comes first.
Always the bride first.
Everyone agrees.
Everyone -
Florist. Caterers. Musicians.
Even the printers.
The guests bring gifts.
Tied with ribbons,
swaddled in tissue,
dressed in foil paper,
kissed with glitter cards.
She carries a glass bouquet.
Imagine. Breakable blooms.
Blooms carried like
sky hooks to love.
It is a happy occasion.
But there are tears.
Wept and unwept.
The tears are here.
