Jump the Broom

Jump the Broom

 

 Rings; and rings of people

Stood round us, watching,

Hoping, needing

Something special to happen.

 

I’m struck dumb by their expectance

 

Nothing seems enough,

And yet, I suppose

I have to try –

Try my best;

 

Still I’m stuck, holding my breath

 

Then he smiles, and I forget

The hundred people or so

Come to watch us make

The biggest mistake of our lives…

 

… Or the most happy decision.

 

And suddenly, it’s all over;

And all that’s left is

Fizzing happiness and

A party to enjoy.
