Syrian Wedding Portrait

























I have you
by the hand and
by the shoulder
to confirm that you are mine.


We have made
arrangements with your family
when I proved
I am a serious man.


You see I am
endowed, and
you will thrive
while my arms are strong.


This is love to me.
Young but stern.
Our home will be calm,
and the years will stretch forever.

Old Tree at Coindre Hall


























I drew
a schematic of a tree
not the right color
I didn't need to be correct.
The approximation
with hyperboles of the grass
moved,
spun my head.
I thought it
almost right.
