An orange green labrador

Sits in the clouds

Geraldine watches nearby

The sun's going down on a

Shadow of doubt

A car careens into the drive

Never speaks, holds her tongue

Dreaming a ring and a gown

She is downstairs on the couch

With her Ma

Watching the tv set stars

But outside everyone

Never speaks, holds her tongue

Dreaming a ring and a gown

She is down}
