She is a secret
this hidden sorceress
that uses numbered incantations
to reach the stars
like all of us
though with common magic imbued
a soul as light as
hydrogen
a trillion sparks of mighty light
within
and like the first hallelujah
cannot be seen by ordinary men
and I
filled with rusty songs
and the grimy smoke
of experience
want to warm
those tiny hands
