sometimes magic happens
when a magician pulls
a rabbit out of a hat
or makes a lady disappear
sometimes magic happens
such that you wonder
what’s next and he pulls a coin
from behind your ear
sometimes magic happens
when the illness is gone
and the pain disappears
no magician here
sometimes magic happens
when the sun comes out
the snow is high, the air is clear
sometimes magic happens
when your daughter grows up
sometimes when she appears
sometimes magic happens
when your wife looks up
and says, “I love you, dear.”
sometimes magic happens,
attraction magic, when she gets up
then comes near
sometimes magic happens
when the poet wakes up
with “sometimes magic happens.”
