magician's lament

he stroked her hair
over and over
again

as if he was
trying to keep
the memory
of its softness

in his fingertips

as if he was
trying to keep
the memory
of his touch

in her thoughts

as if he was
trying to underline
each good time
each strong feeling
each unspoken vow

with a wave of his hand

sometimes
magic happens
with a flick
of a wrist

would this
sleight of hand
bewitch her heart
into believing

what distance could
erase in a day?

(way)
