Happy Birthday to Annabeth,

Thirty minutes more or less

Annabeth, in her nightdress

Making buckwheat breakfast

Soaked, beaten, blended.

Suspended in syrup

strawberries sliced, diced

amended.

Thirty minutes more or less

Rose sitting in her nightdress

Waiting on the One

Glances up to see seven buzzards

Gliding in the rising sun, circling

Outside in silence.

Trusting in wings

Trusting in upswing

For thirty minutes more or less

In the wings of the One who stills all

lifting into happiness

30 minutes more or less

Opening eyes to pancakes

All dressed,

Thanks Annabeth.
