Picture

I stopped taking pictures 
They seem to jinx the moment 
Like if there is a moment The moment is doomed to be the last 
Even a simple photo of me...makes it doomed to be tossed away.

I think I’ve learned an important lesson
Similar to many indigenous beliefs 
That pictures steal the soul
In my case, not the soul but the flame

Most I just keep in my head, in my heart
That is enough for me
Strange lesson to learn, share less 
Tuck away more, keep your magic hidden away until the right time
For magic isn’t for everyone
And either am 
And that is the trouble with magic

But That is alright with me !
