How do you celebrate the day that lost its meaning?
My parents’ wedding anniversary, unmarked,
no calendar line reminding me.
And yet, it nudges a fleeting thought,
a memory of cards once made or bought
The end date unremarked and unrecalled in specificity:
a date in May not emblazoned in my heart.
