-- for Littlejohn
a church.
white, hot,
narrow.
you waited for a bride.
she was not coming.
you married.
her eyes met yours.
that evening
there were wedding sheets.
years pass.
(her eyes meet yours)
your bride
is coming down the street;
her dress is white,
white as the sheets
from your wedding bed
(the flowers in her hands & hair
are red
red)
