To Be Alchemy

I want to be magic - I am not.

I am crafted by alchemy,

but unable to bestow,

pleasures onto others unless reserved for opportune occasions

***

I am a prospector to all things wicked.

Cast a chant and you’ll be led astray.

You can be crafted of latex, or crafted of petals,

I see no difference.

***

I have summoned a new magic.

Peeled back by spells and expose my tree roots.

I have found the unsought,

banished away the familiar.

***

See me in my new wickedness.

I am latex and petals.

I am what you see me as.

I am for a moment – magic.
