Pop! P.J. Murphy
Bobbing among the giggles
Transparent, but with rainbow hues
like sprites they magically appear
and dance misshapen by puffcheek winds
Filling the room with luminescence
and small throats with laughter
dismay at pings of evaporation
replaced with tentative replenishment
reflecting the flickering candles,
and bright and shiny birthday things
restless and impatient to be gone
they wend their way relentlessly
into memories
