candles
gonna buy
candles
to light in the room
just to light candles
as if it were holy
to bring the light in
like when the electric goes out
but that doesn't happen so much these days
supermarket candles
lit on the mantle
and the heat turns the dust in the air
and it smells like plastic wax and matches
and the soft orange light means nothing
and the room moves in close
to light in the room

as if it were holy

like when the electric goes out
but that doesn't happen so much these days

and the heat turns the dust in the air
and it smells like plastic wax and matches
and the soft orange light means nothing
