The Wedding

A continuation.

there was a dead rat

on 10th street

middle of the sidewalk

alarming on a morning run

but that’s not what i want to tell you      not about the rat or that moment hey

i thought americano was american coffee!

but no

i want to say

love won the weekend

a radiant two person nexus exploding into

a fit seamless as fate, a puzzle

new and beautiful

oh my god this is why

i thought when i wasn’t socially distracted

like maybe eight times

this is why

i forgot all about the dead rat

or to turn on the hotel tv

this is why

to wrap our arms around each other and

to greet see hear each you into lucky lucky

us;

to know together the arrival in that moment new and familiar

this is our now,

it never stops
