Unruly Joy

This poem was written to celebrate the wedding of my two friends, Amy Lister and Joe Cumming.

Amy Lister is
ninety percent granola
ten percent sunshine

Joseph Cumming is
six parts concrete, three parts smile
one part jackrabbit

Amy is a dance
and a painting, and a song
and a space to play

Joe is a ladder
and some duct tape, and a plan
and a prank phone call

Two universes
each their own laws of physics
each their own orbits

What unruly joy
to find in love entangled
such friends, such old souls.
