| | Three small candles set each in own crystal, |
| | together placed triangular, |
| | dipping, whipping, pouncing |
| | like sun-shined ripples |
| | of shore-bound lake water |
| | quivering effervescently seductive |
| | to that uncompromisingly elegant mood |
| | "Unforgettable," Nat King Cole. |
| | The candle's ironic energy: |
| | uncontrolled steps exhibiting wondrous grace, |
| | a tempo set by the breeze, chaotically keeping |
| | perfect time, |
| | dissonant synchonicity to such glass sound. |
| | Antithetical matrimony; |
| | parent proudly watching spastic child son swim laps in pool. |
