 Happy Birthday 

All life breathes in.

All life breathes out.


Let’s exhale together tonight,

Blow out the candles,

Eat the cake in the dark,

Together.


We can feed one another 

The sweetness of the icing 

In the deep blackness of the night,

Not even knowing where our faces are.


Where is your mouth?

Let me find it.


Let me feed you this delicious cake.

Let me feel your heart pound

And the unmistakable sigh

Of your delectable contentment.
