Like a steel sheet
In sunlight
You contort
Time and space
Whenever I’m around you
Brighten like a raindrop
Then sudden
Go dark again
Merge with the background
Then sudden
Stand out again.
Draw magic from colors
Scent from flowers
Sage from rain
And when the magic’s
Exhausted,
Begin over again.
You sap my strength
To do what you do,
And I, in turn, draw magic from you.
