The Magician's Daughter
~Anita Endrezze

The air is thick with rabbits.
I am a little bored
with that trick. And always
so white! Out of thin air?
Even the rabbit knows better,
having left behind thousands
of herself in a limbo of fur
and pale eyes. It is we
who are invisible.
She is shocked
at our hands pulling
her through.

and the scores of knotted scarves
that the magician believes in!
I long to untie each one.
I want to see him pull his bones
out of his fist. I want
an illusion of sacrifice.

Speaking of which, enters the girl.
She climbs in the box, waves.
I watch her wiggle her toes.
When he cuts her
in half, still smiles.
Like the rest of us,
she thinks she is whole.

OK ok Maybe you don't want to go to Waukesha....someone has to.
Gonna get busy and decorate the tree. Got Deano (Dean Martin) on the stereo doing White Christmas and Blue ones too and drinking margaritas-baby--oooo, the only way to decorate! This year its like me - 100% artificial. Will have pictures. Probably will miss Christmas at home though (hope not) but gonna celebrate a week early--in fact starting now.
