i wish so intensely
that after an hour or two
my hopes are as vapid
as the murmurs of a child
pretending, closing his eyes
above smoldering birthday candles
I love this piece. The wishing to believe in a wish. Lovely, thank you.
Wonderful, succint piece. Beautiful imagery and the expression of a pause between each line seems to illustrate an intyake of breath. Demanding the reader ponders each line. I like it when the writer demands effort from the reader. That shows confidence and strength.

I would like to translate this poem
pretending and smoldering, another gem here
