Tradition - Kathryn Williams

Driving home from the wedding feeling static

From everything moving

Like the man on his farm who fought for the motorway

To be built on either side

Everywhere tradition draws circles to define

A big round honeymoon a wedding ring a hug from your dad

As you walk in slowly

And waltz back out again

Everywhere tradition draws circles to define

Everywhere tradition draws circles to define

I thought of you all

Up there drawing hearts above their heads

Like plane trails drawn in permanent ink

In permanent ink

Driving home from the wedding

Driving home from the wedding
