January Song ( For Ramat on her birthday)
🌻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻
Inflowing, the
flavours
of Capricorn
in
midnoon
Salivating, the
assumptions
of
goat meat
grilling
on the fire
overflowing,
the joy
of now
...the
moment
of
candlelight,
confettis
and cakes
If I could
distill
every
single
unit of
thought
of this day
then
a sea of
songs
shall twill
from my
mind;
a pool of
merry
to slowly
sail you
through
with gifts
of time
On days as
this
I want to
rent an
entire
city,
plant
tulips
across its
sky
pop tequila
into
space and
wreath your
name
in bright
blue bouquets
On days as
this
to laud
your name
and post
streamers
into air is
a rite
we're wont
to do
on my
tongue,
a prayer,
a sweet
wish
I roll like
candy
to explain
the jazz,
of this
natal excitement
there's a
song playing
in my head,
glossing
through my
lips,
it cues in
the
movement of
hips,
the
tinkling of cymbals,
the
wiggling
of waists
and
the pumping
of petaled-arms into air
...step out
R
and take
the floor,
today is
yours
for feting
more than
any other
day,
may you be
enveloped
with joy
beyond
compare,
may triumph
kiss
your cheeks
and may tranquility
touch every
inch
of your
heart.
