little magic

by Ifunanya Georgia Ezeano

Sometimes you want magic

but not like Morgana had 

for your hands to be filled 

with little magic

to do the simple things 

with your powers

like pausing a bad day

avoiding an accident

turning off the light bulb 

from your bed or 

telling your grandma 

you love her

few seconds before she dies.
