Mecurial Magic: a #Quadrille #haibun

“It’s a kind of magic…”

Queen

Would I were Gandalf, facing the Balrog, crying, “You shall not pass!” Or Merlin, confronting Morgan Le Fey, before Arthur’s doom. Or any mystic, empowered against #Corona.

But I am only a poet. My words must be magic enough.

    Ah, but without the magic of poets, there is no Morgan or Merlin or Gandalf.

    Maybe the magic of words is what we need to get through the social distancing.
