Vintage Words .
Wavers as you pass, like too many
birthday decorations, too many prayers
sent everywhere, ultimately for blowing out
by breath or a rogue wind.

One considers flame. Wick.They
are the vogue at holiday vigils.
Candelabras. Light is a function
of candles. Candles are a function of
bee’s wax and string.
.
Darkness fades to a struck match
and fashions nervous shadows against
walls when candles are lit. Clarity
occurs when flames illuminate night.
.
A substitute for lightbulbs
when the storm takes out
the wired-in power. Candles.
Sunlight is measured
in them.
