Random Leaf #841 precisely cut

No—
there’s no point
in looking back
at the world unreal—

they are cruel reminders
of dreams:

we won’t attain;
we won’t reach;
we won’t get to be;
we won’t be.

That white wedding gown,
I made sure you wore beautifully,
was all too real—

and all I can do
is to glance,
as the both of us
walk down the aisle—

whenever I pass by
the chapel,
the flower shop,
and the tailor.
