Candlewicks and Chopsticks
Tonight… I’m feeling all
right.
At the moment… I am alone.
Looking at candles
With big wicks that make fire
That inspires vacation at home.
The change of atmosphere
In here
Is peaceful and warm in tone.
I’m working on a swing set of sticks.
Big wicks make flames
That dance and do tricks.
Secondly centering attention to my phone
I sit and wait
For glue to dry… and
I … offer my laughter
Even after each swing set disaster
To the energy around me.
AND still I try
And I try
And I try…
With a smile I sit and wait…
And I wonder…
What is she dreaming about now?
How am I going to get these chopsticks to stick?
Tonight… is she feeling all right?
