#1872 - our own magic


1872

6.45

14.ii.25

our own magic

for the field guide and godsbother

 

how humble we are to worship ourselves

 

stern words and lookdown kindly

 

sky is our mirror to preen

 

we are here to look up

already there when we do

 

a special fascination

that was just us all along

 

or any other animal

 

astronaut habits

to settle the stars

 

tie it all up with a ribbon of hate

 

the sky is all in your head

 

they say time pours through us

like treacle

 

some shadows cannot be explained

 

they say it’s better to take a hose for a snake

stone for brown bear

heavens for fate

 

low growl

 

we’ve been kidding ourselves all along

 

just take a step back and you’ll see
