NaPoWriMo 2025 Day 6: Birthday Card

Posted on April 7, 2025 By Basil Cartryte

Birthday Card

Flipping the flame over again
let dried seaweed cover
one abused recumbent form
and shake out your hair.
Come here quick and smell
like spices! No nest resents
its resident birds.
Far from shame, parsley offers itself.
I can sleep even when the world
is disappointing you again. For once,
we all can. Let’s begin
tomorrow now.
