Magic created him
Thought guides his hand
In bursts of light
And jerks
Of form and line
Soberly illuminated
Horses and musicians
Children and dreams
The character seduces
The artist enchants
His black eyes cascade down
Waterfalls of laughter
And stop on a desire
To capture an image
Then return
Like women
To settle…
In yours.
