Abracadabra
(a)pronounce the word slowly
(ab)one letter at a time breathe in
(abr)let the spell expand your chest
(abra)let thunder gather behind your teeth
(abrac)you need nothing so silly as wand or hat
(abraca)trust only in the syllables and in your breath
(abracad)believe only in the growing alphabet of the word
(abracada)its pyramidal shape that makes you think of Cholula
(abracadab)what is to come will descend like a waterfall river healing
(abracadabr)splashing onto your mother’s bed wetting her unmovable legs
(abracadabra)this magic stretches Alpha to Alpha Root to Root Amen to Amen
