I Still See You're Shining Today?:Soft Shifts of Lovelies

His knees prayed for a battery that would last

Her knees wondered if that bump in the dress was just fabric

His knees shifted and balanced and went over speeches

His knees bent and shook while he walked her down to meet them


His hands pushed and clicked and focused and apertured

Her hands held little boys shoulders to keep from floating

Her hands caught single tears that formed in dark slits

His hands had to let go.


Its eye remembered things most didn't see

Its breeze collected the soft lovelies around them

She whispered, "Should I try to hide the way I feel inside?"

He whispered, "I can tell the way you smile."



Last Thursday they began again

Leaving worried knees and fluttering hands behind

This Thursday they barely remember

Their eyes were so focused on the other



that they married.
