A Handshake Wedding

All across the feast spilled

Wine, the grocery store kind 

People mistake for Cana, but there is no

Sacrament in keeping with irrefutable 

Love that splays across the life 

In keeping with the energetic unapologetic 

Love that outlasts outcast suffering 

You cannot imagine while still young. 

I promise to promise you there will be no 

Do-over, only wings kept stretched, 

And you will fly forever where no erosion 

Can keep out the familiar and 

Unfamiliar roses no one has yet 

Seen
