Birthday

A tasting tour in six squares.

Heavy enough to feel like a hug.

The whole party, boxed and ribboned.

Posted anywhere, candle included.

Every height, kept in one place.

Hand-rolled edges, painterly print.

Forty cards, twenty of your photos.

Twelve hours, no effort, perfect coffee.

Warm light that knows when to dim.

Real crema, no power required.

For the colleague whose cables are a crime.
