it was the second Sunday of advent
he tried mightily
he held the flame to the wick
but it wouldn’t take
he tilted the candle
but no new fire emerged
he held the candle horizontally
but just wax melted
he melted more wax and it seemed to work
but then the small flame died
he tried again and everyone held their breath
but the light went out again
he gave up and lit a different candle
and then made a joke
nervous laughter
sometimes symbolism hurts
