Blow
I used to blow
out my birthday candles
like I played my flute -
blowing
down, not out
never getting them
to all go out at once
the flames flickering
teasing out a tempo
until one day
my grandmother
said:
Alice, BLOW
and I did
I turned those candles
into musical instruments
I made their silent song
my own
