birthday (death of an old me).

[drunkinmunchkin]

to forgive 7 X 70
to be 438 times closer
than 52 long miles away
to burn mathematical equations of love into the air
instead of burning the remembrance of pain onto the skin
to extinguish bittered tongues and angry hearts
with grace and mercy
to count the variables of peace
to make 23 a number i can look back on
and smile
