rabbit foot

horseshoe
hung
over the door

four leaf clover
in my pocket

pinch of salt
over
the left shoulder

thirteen
branded
on my leg

they say
a rabbit’s foot
brings you luck
but
they never
talk about
the poor bunny
who lost a paw

aimlessly
hopping
under ladders
accidentally
breaking mirrors

she
was my lucky
rabbit’s foot
but
i had to
let her go
couldn’t imagine
keeping luck
trapped
was really
good luck
at all
