Love in a Top Hat (from Iris to the Magician)

He turned it over
bottomed out
Said, can you see into the quiet blackness
past the noise?
"Watch me pull a rabbit out of my void."


My face was pained
We were opposite, but our hearts one
Same tuxedo sadness and dandy-femme detail
Our shoes touched, toe to toe

Yes. I said.

"I am mirror-paned
I am your Iris."

I see only specks when I'm in love.
