The Wedding

When we spilled from the church,
the wedding guests watching
to see you step out-

You stood, grinning at the sky
as if in conversation, 'today, my smile
is wider than yours'

and You, a snow drop in your bride-white,
both new again
to life- that blush

of rose confetti
dancing gently on the breeze
about you-I think

it was this,
that swayed me, that
and the understanding

of what it really means
to hold hands.
