Her Traditional Birthday Poem

Oh the years,

the years that stream by,

if I could but pause you in your course,

if I could rename your momentum

I would hold you to my breast

like a small hurt kitten or a soft candle,

 

I would read you slowly like a love note

to my entire life painted here in

Autumn’s unfinished watercolors.
