Here’s a love poem, written by Matthew Rohrer, called Epithalamium
In the middle garden is the secret wedding,
that hides always under the other one
and under the shiny things of the other one. Under a tree
one hand reaches through the grainy dusk toward another.
Two right hands. The ring is a weed that will surely die.
There is no one else for miles,
and even those people far away are deaf and blind.
There is no one to bless this.
There are the dark trees, and just beyond the trees.
Happy Valentine’s Day
u have it all….
I insist on doing the back up singing. That oughta squelch any romance in the air.
