Tales of electricity

I remember when the

electricity went out

at our house. The

only candles my mom

could find were

birthday candles.

***

But each time

she lit one

one of us would

make a wish and

blow it out. 

***

In short order

the two of us

had stored several

wishes a piece

***

Mom told us to

stop immediately

and find

something else to do

***

Like, sing a song.

***

So my sister and I sang

“happy birthday”

to the dark

.
