[Written, the sound of
music drowning out the scratching of pen on paper.]
Another year gone past.
Sand falling.
The sands of time slipping through the hourglass,
through my fingers.
Does it make a difference?
Time passing in this place of magic and mystery
of chaos.
When I return home I won't remember, anyway.
I will neither mourn nor celebrate this day,
no candles
no cake
no cheerfully colored balloons.
I will let it pass with only this fleeting thought,
black ink on this white page for all to see.
[there are a few black dots, as if she thought about writing more, but changed her mind. Underneath is a little drawing of a cake with 17 candles on it]
