##
This was intended
to be a book of magic
Forbidden spells
written and unwritten
Cast in time.
#
This was intended
to be cast against time
So that the spells
would be unwritten
At the moment he enters.
#
This has been cast
as the controlling moment
For better or worse
Better and worse
as time goes on.
#
Like the laughter of children
over a field of graves
Like almond trees upon a hillside
Rosemary for remembrance
woven in a wreath.
#
A commandment woven
into the fabric of their lives
Power greater
than any spell
Any intention.
Heartfelt thanks to Tony Frazer
