SEVEN YEARS

entry picture

Broken mirror

good or bad

happy or sad

 

Take the pieces bury them 

in the moonlight 

or

Light seven candles

on the first night

That should take care of your plight

---

If you want to assure

you've found a good cure

 

Throw salt over your shoulder

then your situation will be secure

for that practice blinds the devil

behind your back

 

Naughtly things he will lack

the ability to do

Leaving you 

save and sound.

Lovely idea but I want to tie it all together somehow. I'm sure there's a brilliant piece in amongst these fragments.
