Your birthday falls on a Friday this year
Raise the piñata sing a cantata
Twenty-fifth day of June
Emily Dickinson second edition
Our humble gift to you
Three magpies buzzing the banquet
Nagging the catering nuns
Loosening every man’s cummerbund
Snagging girl’s stockings as they run
On your birthday a gap in the heavens appears
Pestilence raining down, locusts in evening gowns
Tuxes gnawed straight through
Children are missing
Dogs and cats kissing
We’re having a barbeque.
Your birthday falls on a Friday this year
Raise the piñata sing a cantata
Twenty-five more to you
Emily Dickinson second edition
Blown open to 502:
(Poem 502 by Emily Dickinson)
