  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.
