We Got Married

Today at 4 pm at a house up on the hill, Greg and I got married.
my bouquet


the first of all my dreams was of
a lover and his only love,
strolling slowly (mind in mind)
through some green mysterious land

until my second dream begins -
the sky is wild with leaves, which dance
and dancing swoop (and swooping whirl
over a frightened boy and girl

but that mere fury soon became
silence: in huger always whom
two tiny selves sleep (doll by doll)
motionless under magical

foreverfully falling snow.
and then this dreamer wept: and so
she quickly dreamed a dream of spring
- how you and i are blossoming
-ee cummings


teary eyed mandy with jack the dog, our only witness

take my hand
we will walk
we will only walk
we will enjoy our walk
without thinking of arriving anywhere.
walk peacefully
walk happily.
our walk is a peace walk.
our walk is a happiness walk.

Now you will feel no rain,
For each of you will be shelter to the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
For each of you will be warmth to the other.

Now there is no more loneliness,
For each of you will be companion to the other.

Now you are two bodies,
But there is one life before you.

Go now to your dwelling place,
To enter into the days of your togetherness.
And may your days be good and long upon the earth.
