lucky penny

your lucky
penny
has expired.
you can tell
by the expression
her face,
the way she
limply hugs you.
it's dull now
where once
it shined
happy in your
hand.
you need a new
lucky penny.
a horseshoe
and a rabbit's
foot as well.
a lucky star
to wish upon
to bring back
what was.
put the Jeannie
back into
the bottle.
