a dream wedding

Under a bough

While the ivy

Dies, of the summer heat

But there was rain 

Last night. 

Him, far away, 

Me, alone 

Both aloof of our

Whereabouts 

A handshake merits

The formal occasion 

As per

Two strangers 

Who know each other 

In the manner of

A good book.

So fortune smiles

On the timid

And the lakes of time

Together

Open up.

While I watch out for

Rats in the ditch

Wearing

My favourite

Bland attire.

For meagre for mire

For strong or

For slim.

It all occurred

Honestly,

I hooe.
