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
