photograph of my dear
friend
John,
now passed away,
and his wife Lilly,
just married.
they're standing in front
of a small white church
on Temple Hills Road.
he's wearing
a rented suit
that doesn't fit well,
his beard is full
and dark.
she's five months
pregnant
and has flowers in her hair.
they're smiling
as i snap the photo.
it feels like forever ago.
and it is.
carefully i put
the fading picture
back
into the envelop
and close the drawer.
