Seventeen Syllables

Seventeen syllables
for your birthday
I will always
remember

safe to say
sadness can be counted
contained in a shape
then poured out

after words the nearly empty
jar holds this
slender layer of sludge

good for growing green days.
The rest? Clear glass again
shining in the sun
