we the couple after the rain
outside we walk
in the sweet petrichor
coffees-to-go snugly
zarfed
in the park a spot
of chanking offsets
the scroop of a bridal gown
for a picture w/ groom
backward armsayes*
but the knot is tied
and fingers are ringed
with the slimmest gold
glabellas (or not) to come
i wish them well
the woman sports a feat**
and the man takes badinage
but no roorback imminent
this union as sublime and
toylike as a nef
yet neither have taken to it lightly
and both are bold yet shy
brave yet hesitant
they will go home tonight
together
alone for the first time
-------
* armholes
** a loose lock of hair
