A birthday song
on your birthday the birds sing
a distinctive tune, more lightly
also slightly profounder
a birthday not a Facebook event
some stuffs are more serious
less frivolous
a silent morning in the city
I contemplate the ocean
its concealed nature
its magnificent detachment
splendid separation
connecting counterparts
episodes of solemnity and change
a perpetual passing of seasons
changes what is left
