Fall
"Taxi," they shout,
running out of Central Park. Bridal gown bunched up in one hand, veil
floating on an October breeze, she laughs. Tuxedo tails flying, he clutches her
bouquet of yellow dahlias and kisses her lips. Rust maple leaves dance over
their shoulders and circle to the ground. They giggle as a taxi pulls up. I
stop and watch. Her sandal falls out as she jumps in. She blows me a kiss and
throws the other one out as they speed away. I pick them up. Sugar spun
sandals. My work worn feet won’t stand a chance. I throw them in the bin. I don’t want her shoes, I want her life. I
take a deep breath and resume sweeping.
