Ward

I have a good luck charm in every pocket
to ward off the bad luck I was born with
a rooster and a pig tattooed
one on each foot
to keep me from drowning
like the sailors of old
a lucky gold dollar in my wallet
such a superstitious thing I have become
a Nazar on leather around my neck
to keep the evil eye at bay
I look over my shoulder every time I turn a corner
waiting for some monster
It's easy to laugh at it all in the light of day
but I bet tonight
I'll wrap my charms around me tight
