I ain’t been shy about being a wizard. I used to be, used to hide it like a shameful secret. Like accidentally shitting your pants a bit and then desperately doing a load of laundry so the only woman that has sex with you don’t see. But I remember, at one of my many rock bottoms, the good lord spoke to me and said “The world needs a wizard”. And you know what, it do, it desperately do. And after long years in outer space on the mission of the sacred heart I can say with confidence that there wasn’t anything else I could be, because I wouldn’t be here. It sounds crazy but I ain’t been shy about being crazy either. I can do both.
Lordy I can tell you that when the love is gone, when the universe is crumbling, when you got nothin left but pure hope, you’re gonna need a wizard.
How to Come Back
When you have suffered your slow heat death
When all you see in your mind’s eye
Is a degrading kaleidoscope of of colour
When you are far from shore
With no hope of returning
When all your love has gone
A spell
Put your hands together
And explode
Spread yourself far
Fling yourself beyond the edge
Of the universe
Atomise and disintegrate
Become sparse
And now
Find the spark of you
That small white light
The soul and centre
Pour everything into it
All that hurt
From long years of sorrow
The laughs
From every joke you’ve told
Every smile and touch
Backed with true love
Every time
You’ve
Given up
And come back
Draw from the expanse
And fill it into
A single point of light
Feel the gravity
And light it on fire
Take that fire into your hands
Into your veins
Feel it flow through you body
And return
Look at everything new
Watch yourself from above
See all you’ve done
All the mistakes you’ve made
All of the love that’s held for you
And think
I need to look after this guy
