Romeo and Juliet

a sonnet when they meet
perfection of form
--------perfection of love

or at least the best that people can do

white slip of a dress
--------jet black hair
waiting for consummation
completion of marriage
not knowing of the blood
boiling in the veins
dripping in the streets

a handshake when they die
perfection of gesture
------- perfection of commitment

or at least the best that people can do
