to do with the fire within

Harry Potter,
Just a lad
Who lived
Under the stairs,
Found out
He was a wizard
Caught in
Mugglesque
Affairs;
Perhaps it’s true
For me and you —
In all our
Muggleness,
We need someone
To tell us
Of the magic
We possess!

mahogany wings
and even the flowers
are so envious
they stare
on their stalks
at the beauty she brings
