there are bridges covered in snow,
blocking passage to the churchyard.
funeral mourners gaze distantly
as the coffin slips inside a hole in the cold hard ground.
the murcury is falling drastically
as the sun is setting behind the bare tree branches.
the wedding ceremony was postponed
due to a disagreement
between the well dressed bride
and the well dressed groom at the alter.
a husband is driving a wife to the hospital
she’s breathing heavily with labor pains
and there is a girl no older than me
holding a pregnancy test in her bedroom
praying it’s a false alarm.
music blares from car windows.
children run through the woods out back
hiding in the branches masking the sun.
the icy bridges let cars slide off into the river
and there lies the funeral procession
on the icy river bottom.
