I feel
a bit sad
a bit dreamy and pensive
tonight
when
wane moon looks
tired and indifferent
to me
to you
to the entire world
It is.
I've roamed
long
through many obscure spaces
inhabited
with ghosts and shadows.
but maybe it was a
dark
dusty
lumber-room
I awake
but still feel wane
like that
tired
faded
moon
anticipating
a worm breeze
a gleam
a sign
a sigh...
and finally I raise the curtain
embroidered
with white clouds,
red lianas,
huge orchids
and
ever busy hummingbirds,
then
thousands of candles
fill the room
with
flaring radiance
and everybody
everybody cheers:
Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday!
And I quietly add the words I heard once long ago:
"but that shouldn't stop you from dreaming,
daisy"
