Magical Thinking

we don’t believe in horoscopes
tarot is ok I guess
mostly cuz your aunt does it
and she came out to us

but cooking is magic
it’s transmutation
and we’re alchemists
breaking our oaths of secrecy
sharing our elixir with family

we still believe in ritual
worship, rites and sacraments
even if our practice can
feel inadequate

but cooking is sacred
it’s supplication
and we’re priestesses
weaving a holy tapestry
eating of the apple emphatically

or we’re witches
pinching our herbs into a cauldron
cursing our friends with tupperware
making yeast our familiar
unbinding kitchen twine
