marriage is the joining
of two people
the connecting of two families
to forge one anew
then I want to meet them all
as far back as they yet live
as far out as the ties are known
regardless of dysfunction or merit
because of the commitment
my wife and I have made
they are now mine as well
as necessary to my present
as my own blood
the tree is not pruned
by decision or disinterest
only death
and even then
they linger
