Accident becomes incident
someone dies just then
so cursed birth
coffers fill maybe luck borne still
So christened, baptized,
So Born again
A day a year
Born again wished prayed
Busily kissed, smooched, bitten
hurriedly wished, cursed, missed
forcibly hugged, crushed, squished
Gifts wrapped, re-opened
priceless,valuable
Candles blow away years
colorful candles lest it be a funeral
wished right hour, wished wrong day
Someone wishes a year later
Cakes cut, uncut, bought,
First kin bakes, then neighbor bakes
then self bakes
Ribbons fly awry like sentiments
forgotten , remembered
dog eared certificate spells
date month year
date month year
sanctions still
A birth date.
A difficult style to imitate.A birthday.I just have not looked at a birthday this way. An october inspiration? sylvia plath too is October, this poem is the third one(My opinion)that makes you the Indian plath.
