You wake up after
This utterly life-altering event
Dressed in your wedding clothes!?
In a TSA-ish place
Long lines, blue gloves, weary travelers
Only the music is surprisingly good
Break-up songs
Break up songs for people
You did not actually want to
Break up with
Break up songs for old bones
Rough joints
The fear of falling
But also the grandkids
And the possibility of
that elusive die-in-your-sleep-ending
Standing in line
Somewhat dazed because the
Last thing you remember was planning
This church thing
Windy road…some singing in the van
The trip Home is always just
A normal day
But getting there-
heartbreaking
