Sonnet No. 120

[November 19^th, 2013 – 9:14 am]

Before the Supreme Court stood – Edie Windsor –

On her breast, her wife's diamond 'ring' still blazed,

Forty-six years after Edie was first dazed

That the woman she loved was proposing to her.

A private woman, the press she would endure

To end bigotry, and all were amazed,

Telling a great love story, she was not fazed,

For it was time for justice to transfer.
