and then was another one

wedding day yesterday
a friends sisters extravaganza of an event
me n ck drivin autos n singing n preparing madly
poet n prince both enchanted by the night
the throng of a crowd
the ice statue which the little prince decided he wanted to lick
too much humanity for this wanderer
the rite n ritual in the afternoon
my favourite
family n friends n feends all gathered
with one heart of love
to bless the new couple
n invoke the presence of the mystery
church simple n lite
then photo ops at the beach
in the rich late afternoon light of winter
ice cream for ck and da uther driver
we sat and talked bicycles n france n work n houses n kids
all good
highlight of day for me actually
then to da party
which always leaves ck a little cold inside
food n wine (of which i partook with a willingness)
dancin n speeches
eventually bed
sleeplessness for all at the hotel
the temperature too warm you see
a late breakfast
back to the prince n poet
and then sleep for a few hours
before renewing our friendship my friends
now tired and shaky
too old for this sort of thing
too young to beg off needing sleep or an early night
i sip my french press
n dream away these after lunch hours
au revoir
