The Witch Words



for Franziska



To find which words
Are the witch words
That is the trick
The thing that makes
The words come true
Snap into place
Just where they go
And makes them stick
In place with grace

To say just so
And just in case
What we both know
Said entre nous
Just in the nick
Of time and space
And hopefully
Magically

To wonder and
To understand
Reality
As not quite what
We might have thought
About before
The witch words brought
Us something more
Just out the door

To go too far
Is what it takes
Into the night
To catch a star
That just might fall
But to be right
When there we are
Then after all

When what I do
Is understood
And does some good
It helps me to
Do what I could
That I could not
Before I knew
The secret of
The words is love

To find which words
Are the witch words

Just as it is in a political witch-hunt, it is hard to find.

Finding those "witch" words is comparable to that needle in a haystack.
