Veils

my older daughter bought her wedding dress today

the younger one already married

it has a fitted bodice and full skirt

she wants pearls on her veil since the dress is simple

pearls on her shoes, veils that cast mystery, veils that hide

her veil will not cover her face

the sickness of confusion in my soul, the obstacles

I give to Grandfather’s Breath of Faith

the veils, the limitations, the thinking I had to deny my self

to hang onto the bliss and the pleasure
