Make a wish! They say,
On the death of a star
By the last vestiges of a candles fire
Through the piercing crack of a wishbones rattle
And the sinking sound of a penny’s funeral
Make a wish they say
When a white horse passes your way
When a full moon rises for your birthday
When a ladybug lands then flies away
On a stone you found on a beach one day
On time
On weather
On hair
On acorns
On flowers
On chains
On air
Make a wish they say
To stave off despair
Lest you watch as hope
Falls to decay
Make a wish.
