We married in a thorax no idea
by Shane McCrae
We married in a thorax no idea
What kind of bug a flying bug we mar-
ried off the ground we married in the air
We married over a trailer park by the sea
At sundown by the sea and somewhere west
A western state at the edge of the west the night
Becoming morning facing west the night
Becoming something unfamiliar as
The night was unfamiliar where we lay
The night before the day we married in
A thorax hovering no judge no min-
ister no pilot and no guide no way
Out the wings drowning out the sea our voic-
es no vows just the living body’s noise
