why does enchantment keep wearing off,
you wondered to yourself, becoming too visible.
and this is the path or is not
where breakfast consists of a few rolls,
a morsel of fine cheese;
lukewarm coffee and the hum of bees
near the syringa.
I must be off again
you thought to yourself
in the bee laced breeze
seeing your fortune
slide into snowbanks
magically
if action is not taken.
winter now.
Jack will sell the cow
for beans.
