Her
birthday
cake candles
set fire to her
dancing dreams as a sexy go-go girl.

Author Notes
Author note:
I will be 70 soon. That's a lot of candles.
This poem can be taken 2 ways: when the realization of ageing sets in, do dreams become burnt out, or does one become inspired with passion to achieve a long-held aim?
