magic circle
29/10/18 10.19pm
she longs to buy into,
buying into, poker chips ready
buying into a mutual fantasy
dancing by the rules of a tangled game,
an unspoken pact between the two
who love and are loved just the same
those who break the rules — spoilers
those who breaks it secretly — cheaters
special rules abound in these spaces
playgrounds, theatres, other places
to run around in a magic circle pretending
getting to the message is just as important
as finding out what is the end
a hero’s pulse by the swing of a sword
paidea is truly it’s own reward
