for the wedded two

After a beautiful, at times hilarious, always touching wedding...

Hoping these two will get some good sleep these next days and weeks. :)

(A honeymoon is like a really long, awesome weekend, right?)

Weekends, Sleeping In
by Marjorie Saiser

No jump-starting the day,

no bare feet slapping the floor

to bath and breakfast.



Dozing instead
in
the nest
like,
I suppose,

a pair of gophers



underground

in fuzz and wood shavings.

One jostles the other

in closed-eye luxury.



We are at last

perhaps
what
we are:


uncombed,

unclothed,

mortal.



Pulse

and breath

and dream.
