...us part...

she crosses her
fingers
and hold back slash gasp
streams
and falter goes sigh

this is not even the best she can give
but the frame
pulls in the worried edges

here comes the
all dressed in

how does one hit one’s own stride
weather through
or at the least hide the missing
under hand in hand and hand in hand
she wants to ask the quiet
inside her

but come on
let’s not kid

bride
