short friendship poem

my mother taught me that every night
when the hours of day are numbered
tell me
candles toppling sideways in tomato cans
sweet with fern and rose
master of human destinies am i
look back with longing eyes and know that i will follow
the child who threw away leaf after leaf
when i returned at sunset
