if butter can’t fly. . .

if Witches mis∙spell

and Muses

don’t write. . .

if curtains can’t draw

would darkness alight?

♦

if hearts fail to sing,

would eyes

skip their dance. . .

would lyrical voices

be silenced by chance?

♦

if wind stopped caress

and chatting brooks

muted. . .

would forks in the road

turn to knives as they routed?

♦

if sunnier

outlooks

are closer than skin. . .

then radiance true
