on this day
on this day
we would be drinking
of course
her cocktails
my cheap beer
maybe even pub crawl
throw some darts
bath in bright sexy neon
sing the birthday song again
and later
grab a burger
at MacDonald's
light our cigarettes
blowing smoke rings
into the frosty night
then to a 7-11
for more beer
my hands on her
slim waist
whispering into her ears
and she would giggle
her girlish giggle
the street lights
shine a little brighter
and we would wish
the night would not end.
but city tales
have a way
of turning nasty
and so
her birthdays ended
too soon.

Rosemary at Poets & Storytellers United would like us to write about "darkness and light". Perhaps this piece can qualify?
