We shop for resale wedding dresses to clothe the shivering winter trees

You have said

“I will marry him one day” with the latent expectation that

Prince Charming will be hard-working and handsome

Weather all your storms

He does, of course,

The Charming Invisible

Math tutor of our dreams and litanies

He punctuated this engagement from an Occupier’s Cross

Look up, my child

Our bridegroom cometh soon

In the watches

Close to midnight
