Wedding
Speech
(
J& K)
refusal
can be a gentler
road than loving speech
the turning from
one road to
the other one
preferred
can heal
when time
a stone like gall
inserts
amid the hearts
that beat
where grows
the living
incarnation
of the first
day
we lived
spoke words
turned eyes
became the
we
time no warrior
must fall
to this our
face
repeated and
repeated
like the drip
against a
stone
kinship born
indelible
and home
you don't get closer to the bone
