Everywhere is white perfection
amid shattered expectations
as women step into bridal shoppes.
A different language floats through the air:
full A-line tulle and lace sweetheart,
learning together, strangers become friends.
One by one, elimination begins as
women plunge head-first into love
lost in fabrics that silence the world.
A swish of tufts and rough hot beads
uncomfortable, heavy. Beautiful.
Princesses emerge from blue-grey curtains
One dress sends shivers, a fluttery feeling.
Fate steps in with goosebumps and butterflies
women beam and giggle with sweaty palms.
This is the one. Laughter becomes tears.
enveloped in their new-found loves, women
smile in the mirror with anticipation.
