Real-life Magic
Claire Kroening
Poetry

Everything comes alive
by the other's side,
magic occupying places
of our own creation.
Everything comes alive
like make-believe
constellations
from golden reflections.
Even if forms of real-life
magic exist
around the grasps of our fun,
being with you is enough
to make me see it true;
for everything to come alive.
