FOR NICK & SARAH ON THEIR WEDDING

30thJun. × ’14

I.
Never bend a flower stalk
cut swiftly what must be

let root to petiole flow
oh to know her dahlia delight

stay in bloom gently prune
see his lisianthus light

II.
One day a small voice
will ask what was said and how

You will look distant and cloudy
and say it was as beautiful as you are now

recalling your parents faces cracking voices
shelter and hope packaged in shipping petals

III.
This is a river
leaves and years will float
you will watch in wonder
blessing boats

and still marvel
