Candles

(

Take this candle

Here’s another

Take a blue one 

Take a white one

It’s all over

You’re so sorry

Take a green one

Let me light one

Take this small one

Is that your penance?

Watch the wax run

Over, all done

Too many to hold?

Take this white one

Paid up, in full,

Cleansed, Right? Undone?

Just one more, two more

Hard to handle?

Bathed in light?

Would you like a candle?

Six more, Four more,

Four, for, not right. 

But somehow, you can still sleep at night.
