The Bride Wore Red

and the vultures were circling,
all those old boyfriends
wanting to take bites
out of her newfound
happiness.

But red is the color
of laughter
and as she ran
from the church
following

her husband
with his red cummerbund
and red tie,
the musical notes
of their giggling

rose in the happy air
and swept the specks
of annoying memories
out the door
of her mind.
