Frozen farm fields,

a birthday cake,

white icing lake,

trees are candles,

blown out wishes,

my age ambles past

fenced in memories;

drink with me without asking why

from a beveled glass sky.

    1. It’s a very, very unbirthday to me today, and naughty of me to own these lines without thinking how it appeared today was my big day. Cheers always, and thank you!

      2. Thank you, Tom. One year, my wish was that it would be warm on my birthday. Yep, that’s yet to be the case. Maybe I’ll plan a warm weather birthday excursion on of these years.

    1. I’m so terrible. Wrote this on my way to work and I’m just now realizing that it totally makes the appearance of my birthday. Well, it is the right season, so I say thank you kindly, Ingrid and sorry about the confusion.

  5. I like the pared down imagery of this one, its sad optimism, that killer penultimate line —
