bridegroom
you take
an ordinary day
and transfigure. suddenly,
i’m at a birthday party.
this parking lot
is the moon.
i remember now
whyi am so far away:
to walk it off, this pleasure,
this frozen glow, locked
and spreading. i say
hello to teenage boys.
the mailman has only made
eight stops since i passed him
on my way to retrieve you – but already
you are empty, wedded to an exit.
