The magician made
Birds from dollar bills
His assistant wore a sari
Of secrets and silk
Knotted mysteriously
Tucked to bind securely
He spoke of Pisces
Commonbirths bred by
Beltane fires
And of Leos
More rare
Children of last hopes
Before winter's
Brewing despair
This magic man
Illusion drawn
From dreams
More real made memory
A singularity
Outside the realm
Of possibility
In a poorly lit life
Of scarcity
