not long ago
i married for the first time
but not before i broke it off completely
after all the invitations were made up
the arrangements made
because of you
i had a childish hope
one last time
that maybe this time you would actually make human contact.
i actually felt in my interpretation of what mystery feels like... that your "being" wanted me to to stay free.
it sounds crazy so it's better to leave it for the anonymous spaces as the memory fades in every ones mind
after all, it has never been my turn since i was already put in my place by you after i made a fool of myself many times in public, i have no explanation for my craziness back then,
maybe it is our energy that made a snap in my brain
in too small of a space to hold it all
too little time to transform it all

and then i found out later
i married without even knowing it
many miles away
in a spiritual ceremony
without my physical presence
with the guests and relatives
the religious symbols and figures
the prayers and the belief
among our framed pictures
with food and drinking and celebration
while physically here at home
i was recovering and medicating myself
for the childish hopes of you.

so i never had the big wedding which i physically attended
only the paper and the pen
the witnesses and the kiss.

and i look back and realize
that i made the right decision
because my husband is physically available
in physical space and reality
while you my love,
never were and never are
somehow
that reality speaks volumes
to the rational mind
as it healed from childish dreams
memories and hopes
for something that doesn't exist
was never created
never born
not even properly imagined.
