Wedding Picture (August 18th)

we are in profile
your hand is on my chest as if to
push away
-------or about to grab my lapel
my black bow tie
-------partially hidden by my chin
your white hat angled up
-------frames your cream-like face
a red rose pinned to my suit
-------proves the picture is in colour
you’re looking up
I’m looking down
-------into your eyes

we are young
happy
swimming in a pool of love

this is hours before the wedding
in a little brightly lit studio
in Saskatoon

foreheads touching
laughter beginning to bubble up
an unguarded moment
caught
together
forever
