Sometimes
when the day is hard
and cold
inside
and out
I light a little candle
and let it
be the warmth
I can’t seem to find
within
this self
of mine
.
And if the candle
was a love-you gift
and it smells
like hope
and it fits your office
like a glove
and it’s from Anthropologie
even
even
even better.
