Emily and Mark


they are
two in the name of one
two eyes admiring the sunrise
two ears agreeing with the pastor
two lips for one wide smile
two hands for one loud applause
two arms for one strong hug
two feet gliding towards reception
two wings of a dove

both columns of solomon�s temple
both free-standing, facing the world,
marking the mysterious love
the priest speaks on

a pair of earrings
she made for him
he wears proudly
in a rochestor diner
eccentric, in unison
they nod at the waiter

yes, all on one check

the sun and the moon
the voice and the pen
the sea and the sky
east and west
both poles holding the earth

pages one and two
both distinct yet
hold one side to the light
and see the other
pour water on one side
and see the other
never torn apart

two strong consonants joined
at one innate (vow)el as in �GOD�
a toddler
biting into a pear
before running up
to mom and dad

beautiful Emily
handsome Mark
at last-- no, at beginning--

one nucleus.
