I failed yesterday, no real reason behind it.  But here it is none the same.

“Beads”

Heavy on the neck
with experience
and
years.

And here is today’s:

“Wed”

So we decided to get married
Early.
We did not want to wait
and yet we thought of
missing
the hubbub
and sharing
and cake
and spectacle
and instead
there were only a few
They were with us
They witnessed
and we knew
(we knew)
we could have spectacle later.
The family grew
and so did our love
and we looked ahead
and so we decided
it was spectacle enough.
