Magic Trick | Dustin Masker

And To the king,

The knight and the squire,

Recounting their journey

Of indomitable beasts felled

Through a conflagration 

Of ancient evils; 

Beautiful magic ineffable.

And just beyond those throne doors

And the court jester stared so,

At the omniscient magician

Holding out one supinated hand

Balled into a fist, as though

She was about to bloom her fingers

And reveal not one,

But two red balls made of sponge.
