Italian Bouquet

a french word
that doesn't
translate
in italian
neither
nor

spanish for words
so mazzo di 
fiori or ramo 
de flores
oddly 
even

mean a bouquet
of flowers but
since its our
wedding
day
it

can only mean
love as we
hand in
hand
step 
out

of the chapel pelted
by eco friendly 
bird seed
instead
of rice
but

without a car they
have tied empty
clanking cans
to our feet
and spray
painted

just married on my 
tux and her now
soiled white 
pure gown
wishing
us

luck
so very
sorry but
thank you so
very much to the 
dry cleaner toe tagging

yellow
and the
number of
both our birth
dates only to be 
picked up when and

with
our 
first
born
