Wishful Thinking

The usual off key voices

sang the classic melody to honor my birth

Burning candles

dripped wax on swirls of vanilla frosting

Panic stricken,

what should I wish?

For an encore allowing more time to think?

Or perhaps more time to live?

I inhaled until the pressure forced me…

to let go
