m-words in poetry

Magic miracles monsters
none of these things
will grant us our happy endings.

But we may be able
to will ourselves home
for a little while.

Who knows how and
who knows for how long and
who knows the wheres or whys
these are things we’ll only find out
if we’re willing to try but

I know that myths can’t get us there.
Maybe we can.
