sextet of birthdays in December -
seven, if you count the precious Lord.
his candle shines the brightest
as each person learns to scoff
at the softball candles that light
their cake, presenting wrinkles
and gray hair, never the nearer
to the extravagant ageless king
who sits above angels’ wings.

The all important birthday. These days we are used to drinking and eating and leave Baby Jesus somewhere else. ~~
