Poem for her 290

Dear Readers,


11:11 and forever two five two


Numbers that strike a chime
They sing with a voice
Of memory and splash
They flash in the mind
Like the day we stayed in the same
Hotel room
But months apart
The number of toes on her left foot
I licked today
Just a while ago
The number that makes the four
Ever
The bigger number
You could see things
These numbers

They mean things and say things
Some of them only because
They are digits
And not letters
But these letters
To her in the series
Over time
That has a special meaning
Deeper than
Happy Birthday
She is brand spanking new
Right now
She walked through a door
The world reset around her
And she is new
Perfection
Awesome
Her


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.
