Magic

The presence of magic has been a large part of my life. I certainly do miss it when it's away. Must be busy helping someone in greater need, I console myself. It's a hard world right now.

                       Magic

        To ask the best phrased,
         most pointed questions
  to a sparrow or even his shadow,
              is fit work for me.
        Magic is what I am after
               and I will have it
                   at any cost.
         I will empty my pockets
         of my last loose change.
           If it cannot be bought
               I will lure it here.
I will dangle my turned out pockets,
    pretend to be a peculiar rabbit
        whose ears droop for lack
         of magic’s sparkling way,
that can turn all this humdrummery
        into a delightful spectacle.

         Without you I cannot see
                what I am about.
         Why should I even bother
              to bother a sparrow.
 Without you he might not hear me
                    and if he did
      he probably wouldn’t answer.
