Birthday Triku

A Poem by Steve Kittell

Cake-

Candles blaze, wax pools.

Sugar glazed time on a dish.

Slices of life shared.

Paths-

Life’s familiar path:

Birth, growth, love, toil and refresh,

relax and recall.

Wish-

They said “Make a wish”

I wish it not my birthday.

WAIT! �" Nope! �" didn’t work.
