Rooted In Us

so you tie the knot 

and i let you go 

amity in time now froze

ribbon and lace trim 

lining your white dress

angelic silhouette haunting 

childhood bedroom 

swing sunsets

mason jars open 

catching light and dreams

untamed grass engulfing our skin 

shaping infinite into our palms

it seems we have always been

dazed kin, with crooked grins 

so you say goodbye to the girl you’ve been 

saying hello to your new life, on a whim 

but head on a swivel, eyes wide 

meeting together

tears beating at our lids

silence is enough

fervid through distance 

professing understanding

allegiance coddling us 

we were rooted here first

in the bareness of truth 

summoned together 

it will always be us
