When you said I do,
I remembered your first hug
-held firm in soft skin.
She sat at her desk,
Her classmates looking away
-how to explain burns?
As he polished shoes,
Bugs festered in sagging skin
-homeless in Rio.
Sheriff standing guard,
Walter drank from the fountain
-not for Whites Only.

On The Goose Rocks: A Wedding Poem For Jeremy And Nicole.
In Kennebunkport,The tides come as if metered
--upon the Goose Rocks.
Gulls on Goose Rocks
Look on wisely from perches
-some pace the wet sand.
Families come, watch,
As their children play and grow
-later to marry.
In time these couples
Return with their families
-like the ocean's tides.
Two Special People,
Jeremy and Nichol join
-everlastingly.
****
My brother's wedding,
and I relive my own bliss
-honeymoon's return.
