H a p p y   B i r t h d a y,
chienne-folle!
Many happy returns of the day!

You're a cherished part of my life. :-)

in that sudden timeless instant 'twixt tick and tock
as the pebble completes its inevitable
plummet, and momentarily shatters the peace
of the mirror glass pond, its presence still remains
in the perpetual spread of light speed ripples
