Like a Wedding Photographer
I observe the action
Find the best angles
Where does the light make them look best?
(Flash)
The first time their lips meet as Mr. and Mrs. Someone.
(Flash)
The inebriated bodies melting on the dance floor
(Flash)
They slice into the tower of sugar and frosting
(Flash)
The crowd throws a hail-shower of every color petals.
I observe the action
Find the best angles
From the Outside Looking In
The sea of bodies churns
Inside the glass tank of a wedding hall.
The dappled lightdrops emanate
From the disco ball and drench the wedding party.
The sporadic streams of light burst
From the cameras and transverse through the glass
Lighting the church courtyard where I sit.
I catch a glimpse of your face
You’re smiling from ear to ear.
Congratulations.
