Enchantment

Shadorma for Writer's Cramp - topic: Fire

From nothing,
a human conjures
combustion
chemically
like a rabbit from a hat
which once was empty

suddenly
space is occupied
by heat and
by flame and
by something ambiguous
maybe magical

sleight of hand
a coin from thin air
tossed into
reaction
lifted into flickering
and reduced to ash.

An example:

I want out
out of this rhythm
up early
tired fast…
perhaps a vacation brings
some well deserved rest
