Real Quick While We Have This Light

Performing for photographs,
The future bride and her groom
In traditional outfits—

Black tux, bridal gown and veil—
Photographer coaxing them
Into poses and kisses

In the dry, November grass
In front of stepped ochre cliffs,
Talking, talking, some walking,

Some light switching of faces
Into the bright setting sun—
Look at each other, love it,

Lean on him, love it, one more
Kiss, one more walking, love it!
