The Wedding in July

When I show up,
I will look like I just
emerged from the jungle.
And everyone will say, Don,
where have you been?

I will say yeah
I'm alright
I'm all right now.
My words will hide
the dark memories of adventure.

I will come back
from the dark years,
after I bathe,
my hair will glisten with fresh water.
I will wear a clean shirt.
