Houdini

	I wait at the table,
	And hold hands with weeping strangers,
	Wait for you
	To join the group.

	The tambourine jingle-jangles.
	The medium roams and rambles.
	Not taken in,
	I break the circle.

	I want this man
	To go away now.

		With a kiss
		I'd pass the key
		And feel your tongue
		Teasing and receiving.
		With your spit
		Still on my lip
		You hit the water.

	Him and I in the room
	To prove you are with us too.

	He's using code that only you and I know.
	This is no trick of his.
	This is your magic.

	I'd catch the cues,
	Watching you,
	Hoping you'd do something wrong.

	Everybody thinks you'll never make it,
	But every time,
	You escape!

	Rosabel believe,
	Not even eternity
	Can hold Houdini!

			"Rosabel, believe!"

		Through the glass
		I'd watch you breathe.
		Bound and drowned,
		And paler than you've ever been.

		With your life
		The only thing in my mind
		We pull you from the water!

	Houdini!

	You
	And I
	And Rosabel believe.
