it is time for some voodoo
or hoodoo could do you
a sestina for the ballerina
I'll try whatever may help
a burnt offering of goat
mix a spud in chicken blood
I've heard of potions
powders and lotions
chants and smoking roots
desperation lies in extremes
measuring the circumference
of a lifetime of flipping coins
so in the end I will befriend
crazy notions to plug the dam
a witch doctor or a jam scam
a necromancer or a pole dancer
a ding dong daddy from Dumus*
maybe can bring me some luck

I would like to translate this poem
I think in life we all could do with just a little luck......
True that! Especially at times of challenge and trial. Thanks for the comment.
