In the book of spells
I do not find the one
that helps you forget
what you want
to forget. There is one
for making the bees
come out midwinter
and another to make
the walls speak what
they’ve seen. There’s
a spell for making
minutes go slower, and
a spell to turn a woman’s
skin green. But no spell
to forget what we wish
not to know. There are
thirty-one spells for
forgiveness, though.
thank you for the very good read, and fine punchline. G.R.
I love that wall spell, would really like to try it. Great closing, the kind of spell that touches so lightly on the need to forgive in order to forget.
