days to come stand in front of us
like a row of burning candles-
golden, warm, and vivid candles.

days past fall behind us,
a gloomy line of burnt-out candles;
the nearest still smoking,
cold, melted and bent.

i don’t want to look at them: their shape saddens me,
and it saddens me to remember their original light.
i look ahead at my burning candles.

i don’t want to turn, don’t want to see, terrified,
how quickly that dark line gets longer,
how quickly one more dead candle joins another.
