Honeymoon

Assisted
Kitchen table
Home delivery
Brooklyn
Followed by a movie
First date
Swarthy arrogant surgeon
Blonde Boston intern
Coney Island Hospital
Following week proposed
Stunned
There had been suitors
None as sincere
Her Mom and Sister took the train
Simple ceremony
Catskills for a weekend honeymoon
Fried rifles at tin cans
Back to the city on Monday
Dropped her off at the dorm
Drove home to his mother
Eventually
Home and office
On Clinton Street
First born Josephine
Third so named
Then me
Relocated to Brookline
War years
Took over home and practice
Of former boyfriend
They started over
Keeping his promise
For love
