He was NBA-player height
converted to Judaism to marry
(I later learned)
He and his long-haired wife
had a tall son our daughter’s age
They invited us to a Sukkot gathering
—the only time I’ve been in a sukkah
Another night in a back yard
at another couple’s anniversary party
the two of them sang in harmony
Darling Companion
At first I remembered the song
just now as What Am I Living For
(If Not for You)?
Years after that duet,
years after they’d divorced,
we read in the paper
he’d been killed by a train
