Poem Artwork

for Franziska



To read a poem of mine well
Read it like a magic spell
Not as something fancier than
Something else not Lancean
But fancifully danceably
When you take a chance on me
Sing it is what I mean to say

Jump rope to it if you can
Wake up the magic anyway
Eyes wide open head unbowed
But pray it say it right out loud
With the authenticity
Of other take authority
Make glad your mad magician

When you do then I can tell
You read it like a magic spell

Magical writing.

I certainly hope that I won't conjure up something reading one of your poems that would be harmful, even if magical. I'm very naïve about magic.
