"La Marcha...
is a triumphal
wedding march
danced by couples

who separate into lines
and circle around
to recombine
in a kind of tunnel
made by grasping and raising hands
for the newlyweds
to pass through."

on the edges of Time
like dew

let joy be unconfined,
is my motto;
whether there's any
dance to dance
or any joy

to unconfine."

gently upon us
like the evening dew,
and does not
patter down
like a hailstorm."

"Faithless is he
that says farewell
when the road darkens."
