Prick of the Spindle: Poetry: Bradley: A Letter to a Wedding Photo That's Not Mine

A Letter to a Wedding Photo That's Not Mine
By J. Bradley

When the orbit decays,
do not panic.

You'll fall slowly,
your posture a crater
grandchildren study.

May you never need
to throw your memories
out an airlock, watch
as they turn blue.
