places: candles piled on a spindle-legged table at candlemas

thick candles, lying against each other in uneven layers
the table resting on four fine points
if it had not been planed so well
the candles would spill
potential light rolling thickly
all over the floor
as it is they rest loosely
and no one will touch them
unnecessarily
surprisingly sturdy
on such
light
points.
