relics

Scouring the globe 
Ocean to desert
For trinkets, charms, amulets, fetishes, talismans, minkisi

Whatever bits of captured magics that have survived 

Pool them together 
in a forest glen 
next to a moonlit lake
Chained with copper wire
plates of hammered zinc
Voltaic piles
under the right Star Signs

ancillary
perfunctory 

futile 
probably 

still, it's something to try
I've tried doing nothing
and that didn't work 

All that's left
is everything else
