HAPPY COUPLE*

There's Sonja and Nathaniel who today

have “thrown in” all their pers'nal happiness,

to bring birth to a TWO-MAN* which will stay

as long as God (& they) grant life and breaths.

It's born of love between two human be'ngs,

a woman and a man who give their lives

and breaths, so air of archetypal queens

& king's, might visit Earth from heavens “hives”.

For humans do not come from a human,

well any more than milk comes from the shop.

They come from Heaven, t'Earth through a TUMAN*,

each TWOMAN* comes from humans, doesn't stop!

The birthday of a T'WOMAN* - a wedding,

will celebrate a fragile, living thing,

though tough as na-ils, still soft as bedding,

a breathing creach, invisible, with wings,

that lasts as long as its two humans love

& live on Earth, denying their “own selves”.

And who would guess it starts with taking up

your cross to die, undignified as hell's

own picture of a hell (it's got no art).

And follow close to who would lead in love,

to show us how to die to self-ish parts.

Like backyard poetry, come from above,

a symbiotic partnership that grows,

I lichen it to what can grow on rock.

It's tough and gnarly, as a knower knows.

Though delicate, its love can be a shock!
