inspired by a challenge from Danny and Thalia
it is not like a vase,
magic—nothing we can do
can break it
*
breaking the magic—
the tear opened the moment
to a new magic
*
we thought we broke it,
but the magic was just playing
hide and seek
*
the more we break
the more room there is
for magic to enter
*
I’m breaking
said the woman, never before
noticing she was in a shell
*
if it breaks,
the magic, then make
of yourself a wand
