A Poem a Day (558): Superstition

 
Superstition
 
We walk in superstition,
black cats criss-crossing our path,
dodging ladders sliding from windows
and leaping over pavement fissures,
seeking to avoid any imaginary pitfall
to press snooze on destiny.
 
We lock the metal gate behind us,
seal the windows, close the shades,
turn the welcome mat the other way,
and cross ourselves lest we see him
lurking in the shadows of the scenes,
dragging his scythe through the dirt.
