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
