The magic footprint



writing down just how
once upon a time and now
it all comes about

*****


Whoever puts his foot on the side of the cliff
in the place a giant footprint is stamped
will be granted the wish there he makes for himself.
In our town, this is a living myth.
Over the past 30 years, four have tried;
one fell into the sea and broke her hip,
the others say their wishes have come true.

I decide with certainty
what will have come to pass for me;
un fait accompli already
it manifests on time like magic
if I let it be.
