The Suit
It hangs at the back of the cupboard.
Mothballs in the pocket to wrinkle the noses
Of disapproving chapel goers.
Brought out and pressed for the first child
Again for the second.
Worn with a black tie for the third, and tear stained.
It lives behind the jeans and jackets, away from real life.
It still fits the lean form of the bemused bridegroom,
Tailored for the first day of the rest of his life.
And awaiting the last.
