Shall I Remind You
Shall I make you kind
Shall I wave my wand
Shall I remind you
Shall I remind you
Because you forget
And I see it
And before you turn
And lift your hand
Before I run
Or stay
And fight
Shall I remind you
How?
How shall I remind you
Nothing works
Except magic
My secret
I won’t tell you
You cannot know
It only works
When it is mistaken
For nothing
And this nothing
This nothing
Changes
Changes everything
It is like a spell
And I feel
the Ancients
The thrust and swerve
The invisible curve
The tree roots
And the spray of rain
on my calves
From the seed
Of your grass
The smell of sacred
Of wonder
Miracles
On my fingers
The swish in water
The sip
There
Now
Do you remember?
