If the present
is causing you to lose hope, consider this:
presumably, in this moment,
a Magi
in someone’s story
is only now
setting out on her journey.
It could be a long one,
she may be six years old,
wearing insufficient shoes,
in the wrong climate,
but these stories have a way
of happening, and even now
the way might have opened
for someone
that will change a little of
the fabric
in the jacket of the stars.
