written august 3 - 6, 2002
two lovers stood in silence
in the hollow church
echoed words by priests, ministers, and religious leaders
many vows repeat
"two rings a symbol of unity"
in what eyes?
in the eyes of marriage
a tradition candied by consumerism
bride tears with joy, groom tears in fear
underlined by legal subtext
once upon a time
two beings in love
not as simple
