Teach me your magic

How you maintain your happy colors
on this gray Texas day.

How you offer your wings
as prayer to the drizzle.

How you appear to sing,
even though silence
seizes the backyard.

Teach me your magic,
little fairy soul,
I could use a little slight of hand
if you have any to spare.

This was good; simple but good.

between delusional and deranged
TP, loved the last stanza. Sometimes if the words are right you don’t need many.
