I sailed to a store I didn’t choose,
Where witches named vessels and names got confused.
I called to my son, and the mirror replied—
A woman beside him with flame in her eyes.

Magic on plastic, magic on sound,
And a book in the corner where stories are found.
Treehouse of wonder, a child’s holy gate,
Calling me home through the whisper of fate.

And later that night in the arms of my bride,
I burned through her body with heaven inside.
I shattered the weeks with a ravenous kiss,
And poured her a chalice of molten abyss.

So if you ask me what magic looks like—
It’s not just in incense or spells done at night.
It’s in thrift-store aisles, in names, in the bed,
Where gods wear our faces and **** us instead.
