July 8, 1970
I scan today's date In the upper-left column of this morning's newspaper — July 8, 2010 — And pause, To allow all my whirling, swirling, turning cogs and gears Time to clear away the cobwebs, collect their wits, Settle into a pattern, momentarily, That might let right-this-minute cast back, Forty years, To that sunny, clear-blue Sutro Park Wednesday a.m., When you and I, In the full flower-powering of our innocent youth, Nervously took our vows, Our first steps together-ever-after, Then left San Francisco, Headed east, for Farmington, Toward our uncharted, two-decade destiny, Our two beautiful children, our sorrowed parting... That glorious, epiphanic, forty-years-ago moment, Which lives, this morning, in my soul, As an eternally glowing halo.
