A Good-Talking Candle
🕑 Added 2024-01-01 23:47:38 +0000 UTCIt's been a bit since I've read some poetry. This is "A Good Talking Candle" by Richard Brautigan.
It brings to mind lonely nights. There is something comforting about the warm light of a candle, and its constant flickering, which is captured beautifully in this short poem.
I had a good talking-candle
last night in my bedroom.
I was very tired, but I wanted
somebody to be with me,
so I lit a candle.
and listened to its comfortable
voice of light until I was asleep.
