The cementing of your love, your own vivid blizzard of it,
multi-sided shape birthed from the collision, theatre of hearts
that followed. Now the premiere of a new novel,
pages snow-white to be set alight by your shared language,
chapters written by no other half, but your whole.
Written: February 2020/July 2021. Explanation: A poem written for my brother's wedding on 27th July 2021. The piece was written before the pandemic caused major problems, so only recently (as I type) was the poem completed/modified. I read the poem aloud at the event. Writing has been very slow this year but I hope to improve matters soon.
