wills + kate.


i got up in the middle of the night
almost thirty years ago
to watch diana wed charles.

& i got up in the middle of the night
today
to witness catherine wed william.

lovely occasion.
well worth the lost slumber
to see the boy
who walked behind his mother's casket
so overcome by grief
it was palpable quarter-way around the world
become the man
walking down the aisle with his stunning bride
so overwhelmed with joy.

brilliant.
