...THEY LOOKED LIKE CARTWHEELING BIRDS
the quietest moments some
one will say are the worst.
Someone doesn't know what to
do with new wedding photos.
Someone eats, not tasting
what she swallows, Someone
who just got her law degree
went home to the rooms she
would lie in alone, can't
imagine looking for a job
now, watches a video of
the wedding weeks ago,
how handsome her husband
looked, how "we wish you
a lifetime of happiness"
on a card now stings.
