the previous wedding we’d been to
my friend didn’t even notice I’d turned up
despite me standing right behind her
in a group photo
when i’d tried to say hello
i was ignored
as another friend
edged me aside
to give her congratulations
(well
i thought
at least i’d tried).

at this one
the bride whispered to us
“i wish we did what you guys did”
somewhere in between
the awkward speeches
and the dancefloor
where, sure enough
i saw a broken heel
getting kicked around the floor
sometime after Nutbush City Limits
was over

a light rain fell
while we waited for the cab
coming home
always feels special
after a wedding.
