We drove
along
in the dark,
back
from the wedding.
talking, the way friends do.
I have rarely been so
honest to anyone
about
my goals,
family,
hopes

they understood.
Wendy said
We make a new
family made up
of us.
We make a new family that accepts us.
We make a new family
that loves us.
they
understood.
we kept talking
driving
in the dark.
over the golden gate,
into
the brightness of the city.
talking the way a family
does.
