For Michael and Christine

May 27, 2006

I was thinking about your wedding last night

and then I was thinking about you and then

I was suddenly high up in the sky

floating through the soundless dark,

which is where I spotted you

climbing through the stars

as if  they were windows.

I remember thinking

how swiftly you both moved,

like angels, and then I remember wishing

I knew something about Love,

something that might guide you,

but all I can tell you

is that whenever I see

the two of you, lone, in a room,

talking to each other,

everything stops.

All I see is light.

It is like music.

It is all around you.

Everywhere.
