Ruby

For my sister. I love you.

I'm working really hard, here
not thinking of you at all
The seventh of May - all day
the calendar says on the wall

What cake will you have this year?
Who will ask you to make a wish?
Will you notice a hole where
my card isn't there to be missed?

I'm working really hard, here
not thinking of you at all
Happy Birthday absent lover
and here's to missing many more
