for eric lam & mary duckett
there is the
time of clocks
& the time of
the universe
& the time
that is
no time
the two of you
vow to love
without end
at the beginning
of an eternity
your smiles &
your hearts
are already made
of love
the footprints
you make in the
world
point in the
direction of
loving
you hug
together like strands
of dna
& your children
will be made
of purest happiness
