stay, if you can


               stay, if you can.


                          call

me a little crazy,

slip by                me—

outside.


               …well then,

talking about magic 

       

                believe anything might

happen.


he is the one

over

above

and

arrived.

she lives in

      each

 moment

                 she says it seems right.


                 heads turn,

        enjoy being noticed

blink eyes and stare back at all the faces

                                 say hello


                                 this is the magic of

                                 one person

                          upside down

                                                surprised.


                                 "hi."


through

                   passing

                                      he sees all



                                       one minute

there, the next

                           leaving.


who has taken to writing poetry while

                                                     lost

                                                        in

                                                    time   


just luck.

    magic.


               thinking of nothing else but poetry.


               waiting

               waiting


               the poem


her

poem

       s


               are telling the future.


               fighting back tears

                                              lost


               quietly

               very sorry about it

                                              sad


               under

 a

               love

     moon-


over and over            he tells


                    the future

                          they are seeing.

                          silent. all eyes.

               the

       moon-

                          whispers

                                  in flowers,

                     a very good one, a lovely

                                  fool,        our

                                          unseen

                     light,

                              its sign

                                           eyes closed, mouth

smiling, little hearts flying all around.


MAGIC

             dressed all in lace and

pearls                               fresh,

                          she is                   


glamorous, and she feels shy.

                                                 

                          she

                                                  is the


puzzle


                          to give the place some life.


soft          she

                        is                           someone

                                 so nice to come home

 

         to

                                                           magic

         of course,


charm

         s                                  in      hand and


"like hell,"


                                                 a little dream

                                                     woman all

lace and pearls.


        a 

wish

        unwraps the

                            known

all

     magic

all

     love


waiting for things to happen,

waiting and watching secretly.

she is still


                four

                five

                six

                seven

every day           unwraps

                and every day she folds

          up again and slides     back.
