_superstition_

i cross fingers
 wish on mail vans send out a prayer to the train thundering over
my head i toss salt over my shoulder kiss my fingers at the solitary bird always
keep the label up on my blanket and i don’t dog-ear books or throw stones at small
creatures i bite my tongue when i utter a curse don black beads don’t make a face
when the wind is blowing and i don’t crack my knuckles or elbows or drink wear synthetic
or miss a call all of this to no avail you still left you still left after all.
