Tonight's Poet Corner: Birthday Girl
Birthday Girl
by Belinda Roddie
It's all spaghetti and meatballs
for you, lovely: all artichokes
and mayonnaise and lemon juice
for you. It's pens and illustration
books and a bottle of strawberry
liqueur kissing tequila for you.
It's prosecco and cake that you made
all by yourself and decorated yourself,
in celebration of the last year before
the thirties roll around sprinkled
with cinnamon It's all for you, babe.
It's all for you, my favorite.
It's all for you.
