“After Saying I Love You”

by Kacey Fang

A magician perches
on a corner. His hands

weave doves, vanishing
and reappearing faster

than raindrops. Black sleeves
swirl above his head, blotting

streetlights with each swipe. —Each blooming
knuckled fingers, another dove.

Watch his hands.
I bet it’s the coat.

What’s the trick?
(and for once

I don’t want to know
the answer.)
