birthday blessing

your brain has 100 billion neurons
sharing 100 trillion connections
between them

one of those neurons closed a circuit
with “my birthday”––

& maybe another with
“a sunny day together,”
or a “poem”

your wish streamed through
the rapid transit force field
of indra’s internet
denying earthly space &
time

i am honored that your soul
chose to embrace my soul

i am smiling because your heart,
which is as big as a universe,
did not/could not
forget my heart

wherever i am or you are
at this invisible moment
i have beamed-down
to show you that
my birthday was timeless
& terrifically
happy
