it’s amazing the sheer number
of supernatural powers people
have attached to things over the
course of history
charms, temples,
talismans, totems
all forms of the same
misguided ignorance and
fear
it is funny to me that
I feel something when
given one myself
water
that’s all
water from the south of france
dug out of the moat of some a
church that’s older than legend
that surrounds it
supposedly, this vile of *****
fluid can heal, better than any
doctor or medicine
now I, and the person who gave
it to me, both doubt it’s powers
that doesn’t shake
it’s meaning
it was a token,
a gift,
from one sickened
soul to another
that’s touching
that
is
real
so perhaps that’s why
humanity has been giving
gifts like this since the
dawn of time
it’s not a magic, unnamable,
but the simpler wizardry of
friendship
