MARRIAGE VOWS – OUR SESTINA
by Carl “Papa” Palmer
From this day forth I
will not be I while I’m with her
and she will not be she
while she’s with me.
From this day forth we
as a couple will be us.
Us,
not I.
We,
not her,
not me,
not she.
She
becomes us.
She and me,
I
and her,
become we.
We,
not she,
not her.
Us,
not I,
not me.
Me
is now we,
not I.
She
is now us,
not her.
