Holla Gram

draw back drapes to life, and light

unveiling that magic fails

inherent act, not small nor sleight

–of hand that wipes from eye

the pixie dust, and tears in trail

draw back drapes to life, and light

–box shadows wire tight

hatched, not hopped, in netted jail

inherent act, not small nor sleight

–is hatted man concealing sight

all snarling hare that’s missing tale

draw back drapes to life, and light

–show blackens glove, once white

heart slipping then, from sleeve to scale

inherent act, not small nor sleight

–trick du jour, when darkest night

reflects, and mirrors pale

draw back drapes to life, and light

inherent act, not small nor sleight
