Celebrating a quarter century of failed magic;
imagine Esmeralda's memory-badge present for her special friend, Quasimodo

This shuffling, shrouded, umbered evening
I sip red wine from an age worn glass -
Sip bright sunlight's distilled warmth;

Wide-lipped, jolly, joyous sunshine
Happy, hearty, blithely beaming
Blessing with smiles your month of birth.

Once, I brought to you unasked, unbidden,
My winter month's wine dark draught -
Harsh chilling wind, drear brooding squals,

Shadow clouds across your smiling face;
But look away, for summer sun burns cloud,
And sail on, sunlit, through your breezy days.

(Words - July, 2005)
