Birthday Poem

nisetru

.	1
she brought one thought	2
in a nut shell	3
shall we move on?	4
a tulip and two roses in a basket	5
or shall we dance.	6
i don’t know the steps,	7
he said, counting to prove:	8
one, two… by the time	9
you reach next level, we are	10
already born again.	11
there’s all good	12
and I hope it stays,	13
I craved for innocence,	14
he said, blowing out	15
the thirty-first candle -	16
the night stretched,	17
lights turned on,	18
a cat tested the roof in a corner,	19
grandpa puffing on the lawn	20
the moon the tree, a balloon.	21
in the light of the first star	22
she sailed away	23
in his arms	24
safely after	25
a last attempt	26
at crossing the line	27
on his forehead	28
between thoughts, honeyed kisses	29
cake sticky fingers	30
intertwined.	31
.	32
