Cashing In

by e.h. - Libra

There have been
So many...

Tiny faces
Crying in the
Dark

Can I have
 A little
   Magic here
     Please

I have found 
Them

During back table
Lap dances

Shivering on
Park benches

Banging on my
Door at 3 a.m.

I have touched
So many sad faces

Sprinkled magic
Across their tears

And swallowed
All their misery

Filling their cracks
With spit and wit
And good natured 
Banter

Cleaning them up
And turning them
Out stronger
Than me

Now I sit
Tiny face
Waiting

Can I have
 A little 
  Magic here
   Please
