tradition
kathryn williams
Driving home from the wedding feeling static
From everything moving
Like the man on his farm who fought for the motorway
To be built on either side
Everywhere tradition draws circles to define
A big round honeymoon a wedding ring a hug from your dad
As you walk in slowly
And waltz back out again
Everywhere tradition draws circles to define
Everywhere tradition draws circles to define
I thought of you all
Up there drawing hearts above their heads
Like plane trails drawn in permanent ink
In permanent ink
Driving home from the wedding
Driving home from the wedding
