I was nervous in the morning, in a car of backseat drivers With a handful of the stories from the chapters we were starting Every time I crossed the border where the water flows in cascades.
You were coming with your sister from your mothers’ in the valley Where the caws of rooks and ravens are the only thing you hear As you imagine yourself living with no phone or electricity
We were heading to the outpost where our friends had all assembled To receive us in our glory where the trees lean for their safety from the edge of the world, and the birds revolved around us, as the sea swallowed our vows.
And after we were married we went to our white stone cottage and you took your simple dress off, And your tears fell in my eyes as we were overcome with wonder at the love around us
